    Why is Corona not popular in Europe

    Didn't see it at many place in Paris or Barcelona, Heineken on the other hand was widely available.

    Probably because Corona is one of the worst tasting beers out there.

    Luckily they've made a millions off a successful ad campaign.

    That would have to be zero, not even blue moon. And you won't see any Fords or Chevy's riding around in either France or the Spanish highway, since the roads are built for Cars that are FIAT size.

    Laguinitas is a pretty solid brewery. Definitely a fan of their Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale.

    Never seen it here in Dallas, but will certainly be on the lookout for it. I'm a big fan of Brown Ales that are done right.

    Because in Europe we have good German beer or Czech beer and have no need to drink that shit called Corona. It's also more expensive and only -- drink it to show off their 'American way of living'.

    Young guys love it over here.

    With a slice of lime

    Funnily enough that concept had nothing to do with adding a zingy taste.

    Corona is awful, it's the worst mainstream beer available in the US.

    Is this a serious question? No beef with you frostno but did you just compare Heineken to Corona and wonder why the latter is beaten out?

    JJ, sharpen you educational beer videos, the forum may be in need. What the hell, it's beer and everyone has a different taste...I suppose.

    Europe has good beer and a lot of options, why would they drink Corona? It's the poor man's fancy beer, but it's overrated.

    In European countries the brewery is allowed to own, operate and finance the retailer in exchange for excuse or limited distribution. It's called a tied house.

    In America, post prohibition, we have a mandatory third tear which keeps an arms length between manufacturer and retailer (by law) thus creating more competing and diversity in available products.

    For the same reason you don't see Czech or Belgian beers in American bars. It's all about distributors and if a distributor can't get the beer at the bar you visit you won't find it there.

    foreigners like Europeans love to bash American & Mexican Beers, but on a hot summer day a light beer taste much better than a beer 5%+ I love micro brews but drinking more than 5 and your not going to last too long. If you want a marathon beer which you can last all day on. Lighter/weaker beers are the way to go
