Summer is officially here (as of nine days ago) and the time has come when people go out and live it up during those long summer nights and at their upcoming 4th of July celebrations!

If you’re a beer lover (like most normal Americans) then you are probably concerned with one or both of the following two things: (1) which beers taste great, and (2) which beers are the healthiest. Since the best-tasting things in life are often high in calories (think fried foods, ice cream, cookies, and basically anything with chocolate), we’ve assembled our list of the ten highest-calorie beers (and thus, some of the best-tasting), and the ten lowest-calorie beers.
