Very nearly zero! Simply put, almost all the sugar is consumed by the yeast and turned into alcohol!
It still has plenty of calories and carbohydrates... but almost no fat and no sugar! Plus [good beer] is loaded with antioxidants.

Almost all the sugar, which comes from the grain used to make beer, is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide by the yeast used to ferment it. In most of the beer sold, there is just about none left.
However, there are sometimes some complex sugars remaining, which are too complex to be fermented. These are what give some beers more "body" than most. But even with these, the amount of sugar is extremely small. Most of the calories in beer come from the alcohol.

Depends.Homebrew and microbrews will have a higher sugar content.Mass produced beers lower.5%-10% would be fair averages.

Almost none... that's what the yeast turns into alcohol and CO2 so any residual sugar is just what didn't get converted.
