Προφανώς και είναι ανόητοι οι γενικοί μπούσουλες. Οι μπύρες διαφέρουν δραματικά ως προς τις θερμίδες που περιέχουν. Κανονικά θα έπρεπε να αναγράφεται στο μπουκάλι όπως άλλα πράγματα που τρώμε και πίνουμε.
Ο τρόπος ζύμωσης, η ποσότητα ζάχαρης που χρησιμοποιήθηκε και πολλά άλλα πράγματα επηρεάζουν τον αριθμό θερμίδων. Εδώ ένας πίνακας που βοηθάει στον υπολογισμό:
