Beer, bitter, draught

Bitter is an alcoholic beer, described here in its draught form. It consists mainly of water and contains alcohol and carbohydrate, with little protein and only traces of fat. Per 100ml, it provides 132 kJ of energy, 3.1g of alcohol, 2.3g of carbohydrate, all recorded as sugars, and 0.03g of salt. The data represent samples from different brewers.

Alcohol contributes to the energy content of beer, which is relevant for people monitoring their energy intake. Its trace fat content does not remove the energy supplied by alcohol and sugars. Alcohol can also affect judgement and coordination and may interact with some medicines. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100ml of the food as described (5 samples from different brewers). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: MW4, 1978.
