Corona leads that charge, ranking as the No. It dominates today Mexican beer as a whole accounts for 68 percent of the beer imported into America (more than brews from the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium). market in 1981, Corona has been a huge beer import. Ironically, this happens because of the sun, Corona’s namesake. The transparent bottle meant to show off Corona’s sunny yellow color is also the quickest way to “skunk” a beer, or oxidize it, letting light in that causes beer to lose hop flavor as well as produce off flavors. Corona’s clear glass bottles are wrong, but intentional Coronitas, not to be confused with CoronaritasĬoronitas, the name for the miniature Corona bottles, also go great in Margaritas, flipped upside down in the ice so the cold beer slowly trickles into your drink as you sip. These are the cutest option, called Coronitas. Not included on Corona’s website, but clearly an option at Walmart as well as some distributors, is Corona Extra in 7-ounce bottles. And finally, Familiar comes three ways: six-packs of 12-ounce bottles 12-packs of 12-ounce bottles and a 32-ounce bottle “for sharing” (or, if you’re YouTuber MexicanXConnection, for chugging). For Corona Premier, there are six options: singles, six-packs, and 12-packs for 12-ounce bottles 12-ounce cans 12-packs of 12-ounce cans and 24-ounce single cans. Corona Light comes in five options: 12-ounce bottles in six-, 12-, 18-, and 24-packs and 12-packs of 12-ounce cans. There’s the 12-ounce bottle, which comes solo, in six-packs, 12-packs, 18-packs, and 24-packs and the 12-ounce can, which comes in six-packs, 12-packs, 24-packs, and 24-ounce extra-tall boys.

Corona has four types, and comes in 24 official formatsĬorona Extra comes in eight packaging options.

For the record: Corona is not and does not contain urine it just looks like it, and sometimes smells like it. You may have thought that Corona being called “piss” was little more than a bad joke at the brunt of its yellow color and oft-funky flavor, but the beer being distributed with actual urine in it was a real rumor that circulated in the 1980s thanks to rival beer brand, Heineken. We have Heineken to thank for the cruelest Corona rumor Some say a bartender tried it out to set a trend some say it’s to disinfect the mouth of the bottle some say it’s simply to enhance (or mask) the beer’s flavor. What’s the deal with Corona and lime, anyway?Ĭorona and lime go together like Blue Moon and an orange slice: No one really knows why. The Corona limes will be available in bulk boxes as well as in six-packs, according to the announcement. Earth Source, part of the Four Seasons Family of Cos., is set to showcase the limes at the Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure show in Tampa, Fla. That’s right, Corona limes were announced in February 2018 after Constellation Brands granted Earth Source the right to source and distribute Corona Extra branded limes. Corona will officially have its own limes
