Prime Time Lager & IPA are (quite) good low carb/low cal beers

As we get closer to summer, I've been trying really hard to slim down -  a big part of that has been exercise, but I didn't see real results until I started changing my diet. The issue I've had with changing my diet is that I really enjoy my weekend treats, as they help to get me through the week.

One of my big weekend treats is a beer (or 2), but as most of us know, beer tends to be packed with calories and carbs, so it's not typically a drink that people trying to slim down can enjoy.

But one of the great things about this modern world that we live in is that a number of companies have figured out how to make the treats that we love slightly healthier. Just take a look at what Lidl has managed to do with cheesecake.

So the good news for me is that there is now beer out there which is slightly "healthier" than a normal pint, making it a treat I can enjoy on a diet - I use "healthier" in quotation marks because, let's face it, there is very little that is healthy about alcohol. But if you look at my low calorie lager guide and my low carb beer guide, you'll see that there are now a number of beers out there which are significantly lower in carbs and calories compared to most of what you'll find at the pub.

One low calorie/low carb beer brand I've been drinking quite a bit of recently is Prime Time - this brand has both a lager and an IPA, which I spotted on the shelves at my local Waitrose. Having tried both of these Prime Time beers and lots of other low calorie/low carb beers, I feel pretty well-placed to give Prime Time a proper review.
