What carbohydrates are in beer that give it calories?From what I understand barley malt (maltose) isn't in beer because the yeast use it for alcohol and carbonation production. If maltose isn't in beer what other carbs are? 10g per 12 ounce serving. Alcohol also has an energy content and comprises most of these calories
