It is a 4.5º alcohol Pilsner-type beer that is currently sold in more than 180 countries on five continents. Corona Extra began to be brewed in Mexico City in 1927 at the Cervecería Modelo. Made in Mexico.

Corona beer is available in a variety of bottle presentations, ranging from the 207 ml (7.0 U.S. fl oz; 7.3 imp fl oz) ampolleta (labeled Coronita and just referred as the cuartito) up to the 940 ml (31.8 U.S. fl oz; 33.1 imp fl oz) Corona Familiar (known as the familiar, Litro or Mega).

Some say it indicates the quality of the wine, but according to Stéphane Sanchez, Sommelier and Waitrose Wine Specialist, that's definitely not true. In fact historically, the dents (or punts as they're officially known as) were put in the bottom of bottles to help them stand up straight and prevent them from breaking.

Corona extra (Bottles) – 710 ml.

Extra is listed at 4.6% ABV, with 18 IBU's, and is touted as being a balance between heavier European import lager, and lighter domestic beer. Meanwhile, Corona Familiar is listed as 4.8% ABV, with 19.5 IBU's, and is described as having “a slightly fuller flavor” than what Corona is known for.

Beer aficionados may find Corona to be too simple a brew, but this Mexican lager is astoundingly popular because of its approachable and crisp flavor profile.

A sharp dent on either the top or side seam can damage the seam and allow bacteria to enter the can. Discard any can with a deep dent on any seam.

With a flat- bottomed bottle, when the wine is poured, this layer is easily disturbed and the poured wine ends up cloudy, spoiling its appearance and sometimes its taste. Having an indent in the bottom means that the sediment is deeper, with a smaller surface area, thus easier to avoid disturbing.

The largest bottle of beer was 2.54m (8ft 4in) tall and 2.17m (7ft 1.5in) in circumference, and was unveiled at the Shepherd Neame Brewery at Faversham, Kent on 27 Jan 1993.

A 180 lb. person is legally intoxicated after consuming three beers. Three beers would likely result in a person of this size having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08%, which is the legal limit for DUI purposes in most states. But keep in mind that every person's body processes alcohol differently.

All Corona is brewed in Mexico and has to be transported all over the World which adds to its cost. Also as it's mostly sold in bottles this adds to the bulk and weight. In many countries such as the UK and Australia, Corona attracts a very high excise rate, and in addition can incur local sales taxes.

This will certainly not be the first choice of craft beer fans who are looking for higher hops levels or more complex flavors. But Corona is brewed to be accessible and enjoyable for the masses, and in that, the brand has been very successful.
