Whether beer is fattening or not is one of the key questions asked by fans of this fermented drink. Beer has a millenary tradition, it is made from barley and other cereals and is an alcoholic beverage, so it can be consumed, yes, but in moderation.
A moderate consumption is about one-third for women and two for men. In the case of people with overweight, cardiovascular problems, obesity or other conditions, alcohol consumption should be zero. The more natural and artisanal beer, the healthier. The dark beer, made from malt and hops, and rich in iron is one the healthiest.
