  None, the hops are added to provide a bitter flavour and because they have an antibiotic property that favours yeast over other microorganisms.
  
  The hops are filtered out in the brewing process so there is no calorific gain.
  
  In a typical UK beer recipe the hops are typically 1% of the dry ingredients.
