The Beer: Flying Dog Tire Bite

Kolsch beers are rarely made. They’re tough to do right and they don’t travel well, explains Simpson. It’s a shame, though, because the style—drunk by Germans in their local taverns—is a refreshing, flavorful brew with only a few more calories than a typical light beer.

“Rarely made” doesn’t mean never made, though: At just 129 calories (and 5.1 percent alcohol), Flying Dog Tire Bite is a solid kolsch, Simpson says, and it’s made here in the United States—so it doesn't have to travel to far to your favorite pub.
