How many calories are in a Yuengling Lager?
A pint of Yuengling Traditional Lager is 204 calories, and the beer itself runs 43 calories per 100 g — about the same as regular cola. A 12 oz bottle comes in at 153. What is unusual is the sugar row: 0 g. Every calorie here rides on the alcohol.
You'd need to walk about 41 minutes to burn the 204 calories in one pint (475 g).

Yuengling lager quick facts
Yuengling Traditional Lager has no record of its own in USDA FoodData Central, and that absence is not an oversight. Beer and other malt beverages sit outside the mandatory FDA Nutrition Facts label, so the USDA Branded database — which is built from those labels — holds no Yuengling row, and no row for any other American lager either. The closest published match is the SR Legacy entry 168746, "Alcoholic beverage, beer, regular, all", which is exactly the category a full-calorie amber lager falls into: regular strength, not light, not craft-strong.
That is the liquid in the glass on this page. The pint below is 16 fluid ounces at 475 g, the pour you get at a bar; the numbers scale straight from the 100 g figures.

There is no added sugars row here: the SR Legacy edition does not carry that field, and with total sugars at 0 g there is nothing to add sugar to anyway. Cholesterol is zero. Potassium is the one mineral that shows up in any quantity, 128 mg in a pint, which is 3% of the Daily Value — a number worth knowing but not a reason to drink beer.
Look at the macros for a second. Carbohydrate at 3.55 g and protein at 0.46 g per 100 g cannot account for 43 calories between them. The rest is ethanol, which carries energy but has no row on a Nutrition Facts panel. That is the single most useful thing to understand about counting beer.
US servings, from one bottle to a six-pack
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 fl oz | 29.7 g | 13 kcal |
| 1 oz | 28 g | 12 kcal |
| One bottle or can, 12 fl oz | 356 g | 153 kcal |
| One pint, 16 fl oz | 475 g | 204 kcal |
| Two pints | 950 g | 409 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 43 kcal |
The 12 fl oz bottle and the single fluid ounce are USDA household measures for this record. The pint, the two pints and the ounce by weight are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not USDA servings — beer is sold by volume in the US, so the gram weights come from the density of the beverage rather than from a scale in your kitchen.
Here is where people lose track. "One beer" in your head is probably the 12 oz bottle at 153 calories, but the pint glass a bartender hands you is 204. That is 51 calories more for what feels like the same order, a 33% jump, and it repeats every round. Two pints on a Friday, 409 calories, is more than most people would ever guess from a drink with no fat and no sugar.
Bottle, pint, pitcher and six-pack
| Version | Volume | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bottle or can | 12 fl oz | 356 g | 153 kcal |
| Draft pint | 16 fl oz | 475 g | 204 kcal |
| Bomber bottle | 22 fl oz | 653 g | 281 kcal |
| Shared pitcher | 60 fl oz | 1782 g | 766 kcal |
| Six-pack | 72 fl oz | 2136 g | 918 kcal |
All five come from the same USDA record at 43 calories per 100 g; only the volume changes. The 22 oz bomber is the quiet one — it looks like a single beer on the table but costs 281 calories, nearly two bottles.
The pitcher and the six-pack are the numbers that reset expectations. A 60 oz pitcher is 766 calories, and a six-pack carried home is 918. Nobody drinks a six-pack thinking of it as a meal, but 918 calories is dinner-sized, and it arrives without the protein or fiber that would make it filling. Both of those totals are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure rather than USDA servings.
Yuengling also brews a Light Lager, which is lighter than the numbers on this page. USDA publishes no separate record for it, so no figure for it is quoted here rather than guessing one.
Why the label number and the USDA number differ
Yuengling's own site puts Traditional Lager at 141 calories per 12 oz. The USDA record used here gives 153 for the same bottle. Neither is wrong: the brewery is measuring one specific beer, while USDA 168746 is a composite for regular beer across the category, and small differences in alcohol content and residual malt move the total by a few calories either way.
Twelve calories per bottle is noise in a single drink. Across a six-pack it becomes 72, and across a month of weekends it stops being noise. If you want the brewery's number, use 141 and stay consistent; this page stays with the USDA figure because every other number on it — the carbs, the sodium, the potassium — comes from the same record, and mixing sources inside one table is how counts drift. USDA never averages the two, and neither should you.
The carbs are low, the calories are not
A pint carries 16.9 g of carbohydrate, 6% of the Daily Value set by FDA, with 0 g of sugar and 0 g of fiber. That combination misleads people. Compare it to a 12 fl oz regular cola from USDA record 174852: the cola delivers 36.8 g of carbohydrate, 13% of the Daily Value, almost all of it sugar — and yet it lands at 149 calories, four fewer than a bottle of beer.
So beer is genuinely low in sugar and genuinely not low in calories. If you are tracking carbs, the pint is cheap. If you are tracking energy, it is not, and the reason is the one macro that never appears in the table.
Sodium is a non-issue: 19 mg in a pint, 1% of the Daily Value, less than a twentieth of a teaspoon of table salt. Protein at 2.2 g is real but trivial.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans advise adults who drink to keep it to two drinks or less a day for men and one or less for women, and the CDC counts 12 fl oz of regular beer as one standard drink. Worth noting when you are logging: a 22 oz bomber is closer to two of those, and a pint is more than one.
How does Yuengling Lager compare?
| Drink | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yuengling lager beer | 43 kcal | one pint, 475 g | 204 kcal |
| Yuengling lager beer | 43 kcal | 12 fl oz, 356 g | 153 kcal |
| Regular cola | 42 kcal | 12 fl oz, 355 g | 149 kcal |
| Grape soda | 43 kcal | 12 fl oz, 355 g | 153 kcal |
| Root beer | 41 kcal | 12 fl oz, 355 g | 146 kcal |
Our take: at the gram level these four drinks are the same. Beer and grape soda tie at 43 calories per 100 g, cola sits one below at 42, and root beer is the lightest of the set at 41 — a spread of two calories that no one will ever feel. Bottle for bottle, a Yuengling and a grape soda are identical at 153. The difference is where the calories come from and how much you end up drinking: soda comes in a 12 oz can and stops there, while beer arrives as pints, bombers and pitchers, and the pint alone is 51 calories past the can. For weight loss, the bottle is the version to order, because the glass decides the number more than the beer does. For a lower-carb day, beer wins outright at 0 g of sugar against a soda's full load.
Yuengling Lager FAQs
How many calories are in a Yuengling Lager?
A 12 oz bottle or can is 153 calories, using the USDA figure of 43 calories per 100 g for regular beer. Yuengling's own site lists 141 for the same bottle. The gap is small in one drink and about 72 calories across a six-pack, so pick one source and stay with it.
How many calories in a pint of Yuengling?
A pint, 16 fl oz or 475 g, is 204 calories. That is 51 more than the 12 oz bottle at 153, a third more beer for a third more calories. The pint also carries 16.9 g of carbohydrate, 6% of the Daily Value, and 2.2 g of protein.
How many carbs are in Yuengling Traditional Lager?
A 12 oz bottle holds 12.6 g of carbohydrate and a pint 16.9 g, scaled from the USDA figure of 3.55 g per 100 g. There is no fiber in beer, so all of it counts. A six-pack works out to about 76 g of carbohydrate.
Does Yuengling Lager have sugar?
0 g. USDA lists total sugars at 0 g for regular beer, so a pint carries none at all. Fermentation turns the malt sugars into alcohol, which is how 204 calories can sit beside an empty sugar row. The SR Legacy record does not publish an added sugars figure either.
How many calories in a six-pack of Yuengling?
A six-pack of 12 oz bottles is 918 calories, our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure rather than a USDA serving. That is more than a shared 60 oz pitcher, which comes to 766 calories, and it lands in the range of a full restaurant dinner with almost no protein and no fiber attached.
Is Yuengling Lager keto friendly?
At 12.6 g of carbohydrate per 12 oz bottle and 16.9 g per pint, a full-calorie lager is not a low-carb drink in the keto sense. The carbs come from residual malt, not sugar, since total sugars are 0 g. USDA has no separate record for Yuengling Light Lager, so none is quoted here.
How many calories in 16 oz of beer?
Sixteen fluid ounces of regular beer is 204 calories, at 43 calories per 100 g. That is the standard American pint pour. A 22 oz bomber bottle takes it to 281, and two pints to 409. None of those totals include any fat, fiber or sugar.
How much protein is in a beer?
A pint gives 2.2 g of protein and a 12 oz bottle 1.6 g, from 0.46 g per 100 g. That is 4% of the Daily Value for the pint, real but trivial next to 204 calories. Beer is not a protein source; the malt leaves only traces behind.
