a crisp, light-bodied Mexican lager with mild malt sweetness, subtle hop bitterness, and a clean, refreshing finish. Corona was first brewed in 1925 by Cervecería Modelo in Mexico City, the same brewery behind Modelo Especial. It was created as an approachable pale lager and quickly grew into one of Mexico’s most recognizable beer brands. Its clear bottle, crown logo, and simple presentation helped give Corona a distinctive identity, especially as the brand expanded internationally. By the late 20th century, Corona had become strongly associated with beaches, warm weather, and relaxed outdoor drinking, particularly in the United States. The tradition of serving it with a lime wedge also became part of its signature image. Today, Corona Extra is sold around the world and remains one of the most recognizable Mexican lagers, known for its easy-drinking profile and laid-back coastal branding.
