Corona Extra is a Pilsener, established in 1925. Corona is brewed in Mexico by Modelo Group. It is the top-selling beer in Mexico and is one of the top selling beers worldwide. Corona beer is available in over 150 countries.
Outside of Mexico, Corona is often served with a wedge of lime or lemon inserted into the neck of the bottle. It is common in Europe, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Latin America for Corona to be served with a slice of lime in the neck. Some people claim the lime serves to mask the lightstruck beer effect that is particularly common in beer served in clear bottles, such as Corona's. Others say the lime was engineered simply as a method of keeping flies and other insects out of the bottle, yet at the same time still maintaining, if not enhancing the nature of the drink.
