3 Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Beers = Coaching Football For 211 Minutes
This Californian brew has a very high number of calories. Unless you idolize Gene Hackman's occupation in "The Replacements," drink a regular beer, or be more adventurous and try a micro-light beer. Two good choices are Beck's Premier Light at only 64 calories per 12-ounce bottle or MGD Light, also 64 calories.
