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.
Don't drink the water.
What is the main component of beer.....?
I rest my case.
St Pauli Girl cause you gotta love looking at the label.
Guinness cause its Irish
For taste though I like American beer. Samuel Adams being my favorite.
SWILL
Sam Adams (almost any of them), Celis, Bubba Dog (San Antonio microbrew), Fat Tire, Heineken (for sitting at the O Club bar when the kids (Lts and Capts) aren’t around)- and, yeah, Guinness Stout. I tried Arrogant Bastard Ale but thought it was kinda vinegary (that’s a word, right?)

The beauty of this thread is that all the posters could sit around cracking open cases of brew......and we would all be happy FReepers...;) I haven’t seen a brew yet I couldn’t drink, except perhaps Coors....;)
Ew. Don’t fruit the beer.
...AND SHINER! I can’t believe I forgot SHINER! It’s just right down the road!

Blech, I prefer Pacifico or Bohemia. Corona is the “Schlitz” or “Meister Brau” of Mexican beer (and I use the term “beer” loosely).
But the lime slice was used not for flavor but to keep flies out of the beer in the heat of the day
It's awful beer and Anheuser-Busch bought half the company to get a handle on the painted labeling process
I vote for Grolsch
.
After we returned the emptys we used to get the stuff for like $2.36 a case
Grolsh in the pop top.......sigh. I can’t afford that anymore...;(
always a case in the fridge
.
He speaks French, in Russian. LOL
I’d rather have Blatz.
Do they even make that anymore? :-)
Cusquena from Peru!
Or Negra Modelo
Dos Equis is pretty good, but when I can get it, I love Rainier Dark.

I’ve an aussie friend that pays $52AUS a case for her Carona’s...
Negra Modelo is pretty good beer.
