I was wondering if anyone knows how much sugar is in a 440 ml can of Guinness draught beer. I heard that the calorie content is only slightly higher than regular beer and dark beers are much healthier.

I think you mean "Carbs", rather than 'sugar'. If so, the carbohydrates in Guinness are about 9.2 grams - 12oz. Compared to:


Beck's Dark at 11.00g;
Corona Extra at 13.99g;
Corona Light at 5.00g;
Guinness Extra Stout at 17.00g;
Heineken Lager at 11.50g;

p.s. The body turns carbohydrates into glucose.
