CORONA Extra was yesterday voted the world's favourite beer in a poll of more than two million Facebook users.
The Mexican-brewed lager - usually served with a segment of lime - topped the list with more than 645,000 votes.
It easily beat Dutch favourite Heineken, which received 594,475 votes, and Ireland's Guinness which came third with 396,276.
The independent poll was launched by the social networking site.
Chris Lewis, director of Corona's British distributor Wells and Young's, said: "It is a premium beer and deserves to be the Facebook favourite as it is among the world's biggest selling beer brands."
The top five beers were: 1. Corona Extra, 645,445 votes; 2. Heineken, 594,475 votes; 3. Guinness Draught, 396,276 votes; 4. Stella Artois, 350,825 votes; 5. Budweiser, 343,493 votes.
Tells you how old the average facebook user is; Corona is not good beer.
Bleh! skunk water
Like Corona is better than Stella *rolling eyes*
Corona is a step above Natty Light and on par with Coors. I think Miller Lite is considerably better and it’s far from my favorite.
i thought iron city beer was the best.
you do know what the secret ingredient in Corona is?
Corona kicks ass.......Stella Artois is the only other beer in the survey that is drinkable. I await your flames....;)
#2 and chugging harder. ;-)
Hick’s Special Draught...Brewed at an English pub, somewhere in Cornwall as I recall. While I never tested the theory, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that corona is the result of a eavenings consumption of Hick’s. Truly the best Ale I have ever tasted.
Another triumph of marketing over quality. Corona isn’t even the best Mexican beer, much less the best beer in the world. And the lime slice is a silly tourist affectation.
I prefer Fischer Labelle Alscase (Green) or Stella Artois or even Grolches (I prefer pilsners)
*iss water!
Gaaaah! I can't believe this.
The reason that Corona is typically served with a lime in the neck is to hide the typically "skunked" taste.
The reason that Corona is usually skunked is because it's bottled in clear glass to save money. Corona is considered cheap beer in Mexico.
Ultraviolet light skunks beer. The reason all decent beer (and even most bad beer) is bottled in tinted glass is to prevent UV light from skunking it if the bottled beer is exposed to sunlight.
Haven’t had one in years but IIRC Sapporo was really good.
Negra Modelo, Pacifico and Sapporo are my favorites.
Stella on the other hand, I like very much.
