Research on Foster’s Beer Nutrition Information for Foster's Beer Foster's beer is one of the top 25 imported brands of beer consumed in the United States. In 2013, Americans spent $30.7 million on Foster's Lager and $12.8 million on Foster's Premium Ale. According to former Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics President Ethan A. Bergman, both types of Foster's beer may confer health benefits if consumed in moderation. If you are a man, limit yourself to two 12-ounce servings of beer per day. Women should have no more than one 12-ounce serving daily. A 12-ounce serving of Foster's Lager contains 145 calories, while a serving of Foster's Premium Ale contains 160 calories. The majority of these calories are contributed by alcohol. The lager contains approximately 95.8 calories from alcohol; the ale has 105.6 calories supplied by alcohol. For both, alcohol makes up 66 percent of the beverage's total caloric content, though the lager is 5 percent alcohol by volume compared to the ale's 5.5 percent. Foster's Lager contains 11.2 grams of total carbohydrates in a 12-ounce serving or almost 31 percent of the beer's total calories. A 12-ounce serving of Foster's Premium Ale has 12.5 grams of carbohydrates, also 31 percent of the total caloric content. Not all of the carbohydrates in beer are simple sugars, assures registered dietitian, Karen Ansel. About 0.75 gram of the carbohydrates in a lager is from a type of soluble fibre known as beta-glucans. Beta-glucans may play a role in controlling blood cholesterol. Darker beers like ale contain 1.3 grams of the soluble fibre. Foster's Lager and Premium Ale are fat- and cholesterol-free. Each contains 1.1 grams of protein -- equivalent to 4.4 calories -- in every 12-ounce serving. This amount of protein supplies 3 percent of the calories in a serving of the lager and about 2.7 percent of the calories in the brand's ale. The protein supplied by beer is incomplete, meaning it does not contain all of the amino acids your body needs to synthesize protein-based compounds like enzymes. For your diet to provide these missing amino acids, you would need to consume a variety of plant-based proteins like beans, legumes, vegetables, and whole grains or include animal products in your meals. Beers like Foster's Lager and Premium Ale contain B vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, folate and vitamin B-12. They are especially rich in vitamin B-6, says Ansel, supplying around 12.5 percent of the 1.3-milligram recommended daily allowance of the nutrient for healthy adults. Your body needs vitamin B-6 for energy metabolism and for the production of neurotransmitters and hormones like serotonin. Lagers and ales are also high in selenium, a mineral that strengthens bones and may help prevent cancer and heart disease.

They were dedicated to delivering Fosters the way that it should be enjoyed, they even sold it with ice to keep Australia's warm environment at the bay. More then 120 years later, the bold, refreshing taste of Foster's is available in than 150 countries, making it the largest- selling Australian beer in the world. The Oil Can Foster's 25.4 oz. cans arrived in the U.S in 1972. They resembled motor cans so naturally. Americans nicknamed them "Fosters Oil Cans" And the name had stuck ever since. Truth is, we quite like it. Almost as much as we like what's inside.

A comparison between a silver oil drum and a can of Fosters as they look similar. Brewing Process Pride of Ringwood hopes are only growing by Hop Product Australia in Bushy Park, Tasmania and Ovens River, Victoria, and by Ellerslie Hop Estate in Myaree. And unlike other beers, they're added at the end of the brewing process to preserve their freshness. These hops and.an exclusive Foster's yeast are what gives Fosters its bold, refreshing taste. The "secret" yeast doesn't produce sulphur harshness that other beers can exhibit, which means that Foster's taste is never skunk and always Australian Credit Fosters official site
