Corona Beer is a clear lager beer, originally from Mexico, globally recognized for its light, refreshing, and slightly malty flavor. It is produced by Cervecería Modelo in collaboration with Anheuser-Busch InBev and is characterized by its transparent golden color and low alcohol content, approximately 4.5% ABV.
Its origin dates back to 1925 in Mexico, and since then it has gained international popularity as an ideal beer to accompany fresh and light dishes, especially in Mexican and seafood cuisine, due to its ability to balance flavors and provide a refreshing sensation.
In cooking, Corona beer can be used not only as an accompanying beverage but also as an ingredient for marinating meats, preparing sauces, and stews, providing tenderness and a subtle touch of bitterness that complements white meats, fish, and seafood.
Among its properties, Corona beer provides light hydration and can contribute natural enzymes during cooking that help tenderize food. Furthermore, it contains antioxidants from hops and barley, albeit in moderate amounts.
Regarding synonyms or equivalent terms in different regions of Latin America, Corona beer is generally known as "Corona" or "Corona Extra." In some countries, it is simply called "clear beer" or "light lager" when referring to similar beers, although there is no exact synonym for this specific brand.
