There’s 170 calories in a pint of Guinness Draught, according to several web sites and an ad campaign that I barely remember. So that would make it 3 points, not 4.
Thanks Bruce…I’ll have to check into that
For some reason Guinness doesn’t publish nutrition info on their website. There are a couple of website that I reference for things that I can’t find info for on the manufacturers website. Of the three, two of them state that a pint has 210 calories and the other says 196 calories, all of which would make it 4 points. I will have to check the package next time I’m in a store and see what it says. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Here are my sources:

could you add Heinekin and Becks?
Hi Mardi, I’ll see what I can find…
Sorry it took so long to get back with ya Mardi. I added the info for Beck’s and Heineken above along with over 30 other beers. Thanks for visiting!
Can you check into Stella, Red Stripe, Red Stripe Light and also Rolling Rock Light?
Thanks
Hey Andi, I’ll see what I can find…
What about Negra Modelo?
Hey Tony, the info that I can find for Negra Modelo has the calories anywhere from 155 to 170 calories per bottle, which would put it at 3 points per bottle.
Thanks Dan…

Thanks Shelly, I put it on my ‘to-do’ list to add all of the New Belgium varieties to the list. Thanks again!
Finding this list just made my day…does it stay the same for teh new points plus plan? Please tell me yes.
🙂 Thanks Stacy
These values do not reflect the Points Plus values at this time but they should be close. I am in the process of updating the site to include points plus info. When completed it will show point values for the new and old plans and they will be clearly labeled to avoid confusion
I just wanted to let you know that a 12 oz. serving of Guinness Draught has the following nutritional values on the back of each can:
Calories: 125
Carbohydrates: 9.9
Protein: 0
Fat: 0.9
According to my Points Plus calc, it goes down as 1 points plus. I can’t believe that that’s true, so I’m counting it as 5 PP like the etools says. I hope I’m wrong and it’s less PP!!
Hi Heather, I checked it on my PointsPlus calculator and come up with 1 point also. Thanks for checking in 🙂
Guinness Draught in a can is confusing. The label shows 125 calories (9.9g carbs) for 12 fl. oz. but the can is actually 14.9 fl. oz., which would equal 12.29 carbs and 155 calories.
However, when you do the math on this:
12.9 grams x 4 calories/gram = 51.6 calories, which just can’t be right, since you know the 14.9 oz bottle has 155 calories. [12(x) = (14.9*125)); x=155.2]
I’d guess the label on the beer doesn’t include the alcohol grams. Alcohol is 7 calories per gram.
This leads me to believe that if you were going to use the WW calculator to compute the true value of points for Guinness, you’d be better off putting in 12 grams for carbs, and the balance (155 calories – (12g*4cal=48cal)) of 107 calories as fat grams, which at 9 calories per gram is closer to the 7 calories per gram of alcohol.
All this by way of saying that a can of Guinness Draught at 14.9 oz is probably 4 WW plus points.
Chris
Hi Chris, that’s a lot of math! LOL
That kind of matches what I have above, 4 points for a pint (16oz) of Guinness Draught. It’s possible that the extra ounce may not affect the calories enough to bump it up to the next point value. Either way that’s a lot for one drink and I would suggest drinking in moderation 🙂
Thanks for visiting!
Hey, so using the new points plus system, is Yuengling still 3? Because according to what I could find online it was coming up as one in my points plus calculator. But that just seemed really low.
Thanks
Hi Regina, I’m coming up with the same thing you are, 1 PointsPlus value. This is one of the reasons I don’t do the PointsPlus plan, because it doesn’t take calories into consideration and sometimes (like this) it just doesn’t seem right.
According to the new Points Plus plan – ALL light beer is 3 points and all regular beer is 5 per 12oz serving. In the getting started packet it states, which alcohol you DO NOT use the Calculator because it cannot decipher sugar alcohols – hence just use the above numbers I stated.
I too got so excited to plug in light beer info and get 1 point.
I miss the old plan 🙁
Thanks for letting us know Julie. It kind of sucks that there are items that you cannot rely on your calculator to correctly determine the points for on the new plan. Seems like a major flaw to me…
Thanks SO much for putting these lists together! I’ve bookmarked the home site and several of the individual lists on my smart phone so I can have a quick reference – makes it much easier to make smart food and beverage choices when you’re away from home! We really do appreciate your hard work!!!
Thanks Kim! That’s always great to hear!
