Navigate to where you want to go:
Discover which ones are the best low-carb beers available in the Netherlands. Yes, beer contains a lot of carbs and sugars, therefore is not the best drink for a low-carb or ketogenic diet.
If you follow a simple low-carb diet, having a beer is not a big deal: you just cut the portion of carbs here and there, and you can have a well deserve blonde in the evening.
If you are following keto, you will want to think twice. Ketosis is not really going along with beer.
Will low-carb beer kick me out of ketosis?
Unfortunately, beer, even a low-carb option, will kick you out of ketosis. Beer is made with grains and therefore is against ketosis.
Read this interesting experiment, and decide if a beer is worth the ban from Ketoland.
Remember that you can still have wine, and keep your ketosis.

If you love the taste of the beer, you won’t mind If it has alcohol or not.
BEST CHOICE: Jever Fun One way
2,5 gr carbs per 100 ml.
It smell and tasty EXACTLY like a light blonde beer.
I am in love with this. I am a fan of light blonde beers so I win easily, but if you like stronger beers this may not be for you. Available at Jumbo and Albert Heijn.
Brewdog Nanny State
1,2 carb per 100 ml.
The taste: tastes like ale, not really beer. I didn’t like it so much but give it a try because it counts only 1,2 carbs for 100 ml. Available at Gall&Gall.
Beers to avoid on keto and low-carb diets
- Leffe Blond 0 9,9 gr carbs per 100 ml.
- Jillz 0 7,2 gr carbs per 100 ml.
- Desperados 6,3 gr carbs per 100 ml.
- Brand IPA 0 5,9 gr carbs per 100 ml.
- Grolsch 0 5,7 gr carbs per 100 ml.
- Leffe 5,4 gr carbs per 100 ml.
- Heineken 0 4,8 gr carbs per 100 ml.
My favorite choice
My choice, would be the Amstel Blond. Is the lowest in carbs, and I like light blonds so for me is perfect.
Luckily, even if I like beer, I am not crazy about it. Therefore, is only an occasional treat to me.
Another amazing option is the Javer Fun, which is alcohol free, but tastes exactly as a light blonde beer.
I hope you will find useful this post. I will keep updating this list with the best low-carb beers in the Netherlands.
