Corona lager and lime.

Canned Corona? I’ve never seen such a thing…ever.

Now you have.

Ick. The stuff is borderline at best in a bottle. In a can it would be just vile.

Of course, the best cheap Mexican swillbeer is Tres Equis, which as far as I know isn’t exported. The bottom of each bottle is indented with a gripper, so you can twist open your next beer. :smiley:

Hefeweizen usually don’t come with a slice of lemon, Kristallweizen - a filtered wheat beer- does.

In Germany that is.

Lime makes any watery pilsner taste better. If I’m drinking a cheap American beer–Miller high life, frex–I put a lime in it if I can.

Does anyone else do the trick where you cover the mouth of the Corona with your thumb, turn the bottle upside down with the goal of making the laime float to the bottom (now the top). Then, you flip it back, and release the built up carbonation skillfully?

Also – I’ve had heffies with lemon. The first heffie I ever had on tap was probably Pyramid in Oregon in the mid-90’s and they always put lemon in it.

The Widmer Brothers Brewery in Portland makes a fine hefeweizen, and the standard treatment around here is to serve it with a lemon slice. Most beerslingers will ask you first, though.
As for Mexican, make mine a Carta Blanca, no lime, thanks.

I think it shows up somewhere in The Big Lebowski, and I think they also have it at the Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa.

One of my friends who went to UC Riverside said he was Corona on tap, which kinda blows my mind a bit.

So, does anyone know why Corona insists on clear bottles? Because them skunky Coronas are bad.

Now, it’s established as part of the branding, so they can’t change it easily. Back when, it helps to remember that Corona was, and still is, cheap-ass swill. Good beers get the protection of brown glass. Plonk doesn’t.

Corona is also sold in brown bottles in Mexico.

I guess they figure us gringos deserve skunked beer. I’ll stick to Sierra Nevada, thank you very much. :smiley:
