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.

BEST CHOICE: Jever Fun One way

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.

- 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.
