Corona Extra Beer

Corona Extra is a globally recognized pale lager that originated in Mexico. It was first brewed in 1925 by Cervecería Modelo in Mexico City to celebrate the company's tenth anniversary. The recipe and distinctive clear-glass bottle were designed to differentiate it from local rivals, and it quickly became one of Mexico's best-selling beers. Its international fame exploded in the late 20th century, particularly in the United States, where it became synonymous with a relaxed beach and barbecue lifestyle, often served with a signature wedge of lime.

Today, the brand operates under a unique dual-ownership structure resulting from antitrust regulations. In the United States, the brand is owned and distributed by Constellation Brands, which produces the beer in dedicated Mexican breweries specifically for the U.S. market. For the rest of the world, including its home market of Mexico and European markets like Germany, the brand is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev). While most Corona is still brewed in Mexico to maintain its authentic identity, AB InBev has expanded production to other regions, such as China and Europe, to serve local international markets more efficiently.
