"The Eight Beers Americans No Longer Drink"

Basically, they're all form the big two. The article says that it's because Americans are turning away from "full-calorie" beers (145/12-oz) toward light and ultra-light (90-100/12-oz). It doesn't mention any influence due to the rise of craft brewing. I guess I've always enjoyed "increased-calorie" beers over full-calorie beers. Mine run about 220/pint according to calculators.... (I guess that's only about two calories per ounce more. I'd *almost* waste an ounce of beer on a calorimeter to find out for certain.)
