Bad news for beer lovers: Grupo Modelo, the company that owns and manufactures Corona is temporarily halting production of its beer in Mexico because of the coronavirus pandemic.


The beverage company stated that they will suspend operations in order “to attend to the health emergency caused by the virus SARS-CoV2,” according to the public statement.

The Mexican government recently shut down all nonessential business activity in both public and private sectors until April 30, according to CNN.

“Grupo Modelo will abide by the measures adopted by the Federal Government and reaffirms its total commitment to be part of the fight against the coronavirus,” the company wrote, as it also confirmed the donation of 300,000 units of antibacterial gels and sanitizers.

Grupo Modelo also said it is ready to execute a plan that will guarantee a supply of beer if the Mexican government declares beer production to be an essential business. The company reports 75 percent of its staff are currently working from home.
 
They market it as a beach beer. The problem with Corona is the clear bottles which skunks the beer over time.
seriously, the Corona Familiar (the big brown bottle one) is remarkably different
it gets high turnover so it doesn't have time to get old, it's "Corona Extra" which is a marginally different thing, and the brown glass helps too
it was my fav cheap gas station beer ;_;
 
This reminds me of when the amazon was burning and jeff bezos' stock went down.
 
There's plenty of cheap beer on the market that doesn't taste like sewage. If you're drinking Corona you don't care much about the taste anyway so just grab one of them.
 
Looks like all the beaners will have to switch to drinking Tecate instead. Fucking nasty.
