Hopefully there will be a nice discount if sales drop then, it’s not the best beer but cheap beer is good beer.

Well, like my dad always said, don't drink beer that comes in clear bottlles ... I've absolutely had my share of Coronas, and will again, but it is just as absolutely some pisswater that should be drank only as a last resort.

Yeah it’s not anywhere near the top of the list, although on a boiling hot day it’s nice specifically because it’s so tasteless, it’s like Relaxation Water.

You’ve literally gotta put lime in it to make it taste of something, it’s the Muller Corner of the beer world.

Ironically, there's been a suggestion that Corona might have lost sales in the long term when they began marketing it in cans last year. The beer desperately needs protection from being light-struck, but the image of a clear bottle of golden beer with a lime wedge is so important to the brand that making it another generic adjunct lager could cause problems.

That’s a good point, I would honestly never even consider buying a can of Corona, even if it was slightly cheaper than other beers - so it must be the marketing I’m falling prey to.

Oh definitely. Corona is a lovely beer that uses a lime wedge to cover up the flavor of it being light-struck because of the clear bottles, but it's used heavy marketing to be seen as an indispensable part of summer drinking (especially anything with a vaguely Hispanic flair). The hard seltzer would have actually been a great product had the virus not hit, since that's become a major market now.

I do a lot of stocking at my store, which includes the beer, so I've definitely seen a trend when it comes to what folks prefer. Corona in a can doesn't sell nearly as well as the bottle, and Coors Light is the one alcohol I am routinely having to pull out because it's expired. Wish my beer guy would catch onto that but he has numbers to reach too. I've seen an uptick in seltzer sales too, and I read not too long ago that it's [seltzer] the drink of preference for folks these days. As a result, I've been seeing all these companies putting out seltzer versions to try and get in on it. There was a few weeks where White Claw was completely out of stock because of the demand.

It's too early to tell if the coronavirus will play an effect on Corona at my store, but I'll let you know.

fake edit: remembered that we had a guy who asked us to order two twelve packs of the Corona 32 (I think) ever few weeks for awhile. I had six cases of it at one loving point.

White Claw is surging, and it's been suggested that it's because it provides an acceptably masculine form of very light-tasting alcohol for guys who are insecure about being seen drinking Bacardi Breezers. They use gender-neutral marketing so it's seen as acceptable for everyone without you getting accused of being a sissy.

It's really odd the level of hate she arouses. June has put on another post comparing her looks to Melania Trump's at the same age and the comments are just full of really nasty poo poo. A new conspiracy is that she's on puberty blockers to make her look younger and therefore harder to attack without looking a twat. :rolleyes:

No, Corona and Budweiser just introduced their own hard seltzers because it was a type of alcohol no one was buying.

White Claw couldn't physically manufacture enough to keep up with demand for a while. One of the reasons other brands have been able to make a foothold in that market is there was a significant gap in supply.

White Claw is outselling Budweiser and experiencing triple-digit growth. Maybe you just hang out at the wrong punk venues? There's a bar in downtown Orlando that replaced a broken toilet tank lid with part of a White Claw box.

I'm drinking a Corona right now because I'm a beer wuss for the most part and it doesn't taste bad or anything to me. No lime. And I'm in the UK so theoretically it's had more time to get gross in its travels.

In travels in a light tight box, so that's not the problem. UV light causes beer to spoil over time, brown bottles cut down on UV, so it's really only affected by how long it's on a shelf.
