Corona was launched in 1925 by Cervecería Modelo in Mexico City, the year the brewery opened, and grew into Mexico's leading export beer, sold today in more than 180 countries. The range around the flagship Extra has widened over the decades to light, fuller and alcohol-free beers. Since 2013 the brand has belonged to AB InBev through Grupo Modelo, which brews it in Mexico for most markets, while Constellation Brands holds the US rights and brews the range sold in the United States at its own breweries in Mexico.

Brewery DNA

The recurring character behind the beers

Corona brew within a single family — the differences sit in how, not what.

Signature · 7 beers
Lager 7

Across these 7 beers, 4 notes keep showing up:

Four notes carry across the range. That's a tight house style — most breweries in the catalogue share just one. 3 of them come through every single beer.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
