1

Busch

LCBO Top 10
🦍 58 · B114 cal · 6.9g carbs

🦍 62 · B102 cal · 5.3g carbs

Low calorie light lager. Clean ingredients. One of the better mainstream choices on this list.

3

Molson Canadian

LCBO Top 10
🦍 58 · B145 cal · 12.9g carbs

The classic Canadian. Mid range calories, mid range carbs. Nothing special, nothing offensive.

4

Corona Extra

LCBO Top 10
🦍 58 · B148 cal · 13.9g carbs

Contains gluten despite popular belief — not recommended for celiac disease. Otherwise a clean light lager.

5

Heineken

🦍 60 · B142 cal · 11.4g carbs

Dutch premium lager brewed under license in Canada. Slightly cleaner than most at this price point.

7

Michelob Ultra

THE GORILLA VERDICT ON TOP 10 BEERS

Michelob Ultra is the clear winner if you care about nutrition. Coors Light and Bud Light are the best of the rest for low calorie options. None of these beers contain artificial colours or flavours. The biggest myth on this list is Corona being gluten free. It is not. It is brewed from barley.
