Corona (beer)

Corona is a Mexican brand of beer produced by Grupo Modelo in Mexico and exported to markets around the world.

[10] In July 1922 German immigrant and brewmaster, Adolph H. Schmedtje joined Cerveceria Modelo Sociedad Anónima (S.A.) to oversee production and created the Corona brew.

[11][12] According to Sinebrychoff, a Finnish company owned by the Carlsberg Group, Corona Extra contains barley malt, corn, hops, yeast, antioxidants (ascorbic acid), and propylene glycol alginate as a stabilizer.

[13] The label and logo of Corona was designed by Eduardo Cataño working under the advertising company Galas de México for Grupo Modelo brewery, around 1935.

AB InBev resolved[16] the branding issues with Torres in 2016, with the beer starting to be sold as Corona in Spain from June of that year.

[23] Some bars and restaurants serve a "Coronarita", a beer cocktail that consists of a bottle of Corona upturned to drain into a margarita.

[24][failed verification][25] In early 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, CNN published an article falsely claiming that 38% of Americans would not buy Corona "under any circumstances" due to its similarity in name to coronaviruses.

[27] Sales increased 8.9% in the first three months of 2020, and showed year-over-year growth of 24% in the first three weeks of March 2020, as American consumers were drinking more beer and alcoholic beverages while staying at home during the emerging pandemic.
