Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Corona beer stops production

Production of Corona beer is being temporarily suspended in Mexico because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Grupo Modelo, the company that makes the beer, posted the announcement on Twitter, stating that it's halting production and marketing of its beer because the Mexican government has shuttered non-essential businesses. The Anheuser-Busch Inbev-owned company also makes Modelo and Pacifico beers.
This week, the Mexican government announced the suspension of non-essential activities in the public and private sectors until April 30 in an effort to curb the spread of the virus. The country has more than 1,500 cases and 50 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins.

Grupo Modelo is ready to enact a plan to "guarantee the supply of beer" if the Mexican government decides to include breweries as essential, according to a statement.

Constellation Brands (STZ) handles the distribution and import of Grupo Modelo's beers in the United States. CEO Bill Newlands said in an earnings call the brand has "ample supply to meet consumer demand" and doesn't expect shortages in the near term.

personally I kinda don`t like to buy food,water or beer from Mexico ,reason is if you see real Mexico its dirty and the water is dangerous to drink so why would i drink anything from Mexico ? buy American its safer

Some prayers are answered.

I like Negra Modello.

Nothing that can live in beer can make you sick. Beer - originally, was the alternative for unsafe water. It' lasts longer too for long voyages.

Not talking about Mexican beers specifically - not my flavor profile preference.

I will bet that Corona beer has just gone extinct. That name is poison.

Y Modelo Especial también.

Opa!

They need to start a new ad campaign.... drink Corona it will help you build anti-bodies....

I wouldn’t. It’s been the #1 import for a couple decades. The brand itself is worth billions.


The beer sucks azz though.

This. Constellation Brands has made some mistakes for sure but distribution of Mexican beer isn't one of them.

Buying Ballast Point for 1 billion and selling it a few years (and I mean FEW) for 19 million would be tops of the list of "mistakes".

It's ok.....






If you like to lick skunk asses.

So now you're down to beer made by two horses?

There's nothing outta Mexico that we wouldn't be better off without.

That outta stop the spread of corona 19...

Never have seen a 19-pack..

Maybe it's like a bakers dozen?
That little bonus they stick in there

Kinda like the old rumor that: "1in 6 bottles of corona is filled with piss."

'bout as good as Mexican beer gets .

I dont always drink beer, but, When I drink beer its Negro Modello , stay thirsty my friends.

Sol is pretty decent as well.

That’s the reason I don’t drink Meskin beer.

Fake news

Id rather drink Corona than Budweiser stuff.
