Thank for posting that. It takes a real measure of geekitude to appreciate something of that magnitude!

Well, you gotta kinda be if you home-brew.

The majority of the beers in the link are of the sessionable variety.

Scary to know the calorie count on the types that I like (double, triple, and imperial IPA's and reds).

You label yours? It's a PITA to just clean the bottles, why make it harder? Buy fancier caps.

I have made labels a few times. Once I used large mailing labels (3"X4"), but they were very difficult to remove. Another time I printed the labels on plain paper using a color laser printer, then used a glue stick to put them on. It worked OK and came off easily, but it was more trouble than it was worth. I think that label paper they sell is way too expensive.

I usually print 3/4" round labels (Avery 5408) using the Avery Label Wizard. All I put on them is the name of the beer and the bottling date. I sometimes buy big quantities of bottle caps on ebay, so I have different colors. With the cap labels, only the rim of the cap shows. I have green, black, blue, red, orange, gold and silver. Irish Red gets red caps, Pumpkin ale gets orange, Stout gets black, green goes on a batch if I haven't used it for a while.

Alcohol lowers blood sugar. Beer and wine both contain carbs that raise BG. I haven't checked but red wine is said to have a zero effect on BG since the carbs and alcohol cancel each other out. I am a Type 2 and drink mostly vodka and whiskey. I don't have any worries about my BG but of course liver damage comes into play. Everything in moderation is the key.

I had a 9.5% beer from Full Sail which actually had a nutrition facts label on it. Per the label, it was 2 servings (22oz bottle). Each serving was 247 calories and 14.5 grams of carbs. Of course, there is a huge variety of beer out there and I'm sure different styles brewed with different ingredients will have some variation.

Ratebeer actually just estimates the calories per serving. It's probably a decent estimate but I doubt is 100% accurate in most cases. The beer I mentioned above (Full Sail Wheat Wine) they estimate having 285 calories (I assume this is per serving as they don't specify), yet the label said 247 per.

Typically the lighter the color the beer is, the lower the calories. So your pilsners and IPAs tend to be low, while malts and stouts are higher. I would approximate 50-250 depending, although it could go even higher potentially.
