Why do they even make it?

Friends brought over a 12 pack. Six are left, and will likely be in my fridge until the (hilary) Clinton presidency.

The beer snob in me cringes whenever Mrs. Freed orders it (or attempts to order - not many places carry this fine beverage).

I actually will drink it. My cousin got married some time ago. She works for Corona in Chicago as does her now husband. At their reception, they had arranged to have an open bar, which they did, but Corona showed up at the reception with like 2 large trash cans full of corona and corona light and a pretty sweet little display that all but negated the need for a bar.

When we left and went back to the condo after the reception, we grabbed a case of each. That night, no one could tell the difference in blind taste tests between the two. One of the best receptions ever...which may explain the inability to distinguish between the two, but nevertheless, true story.

Corona is already pretty lite. I just don't get the idea of watering it down more. But whatever, slap a lime in there, and it's beerish.

I cringe just knowing that they made it.

Corona blah...Modelo/Dos XX/Pacifico please

I know few people care about this, but there are 13g of carbohydrates in Corona Extra vs 5g in Corona Light. That's a pretty big difference if you're watching that sort of thing...and multiply it by 12 or so and it's an even bigger difference

I have quite the collection of crappy beer that gets left at our house, or I have available for company. Every time we have company, I put that shock top, corona, stellas, blue moon (that's right- blue moon), and some craft beer fails (pumpkin ales, etc) etc in the cooler hoping they'll go away. But they just seem to multiply.

I may have to pitch them or have a GRB gathering to get rid of it all.

If your going to have a bad beer that you can unload, I find Bud Select (cans) is the best option. Enough people will take it, including myself. I can get Busch too - that always goes eventually.

My dad came down to visit like 2 years ago and for some reason brought a twelve pack of that Kraftig [expletive] - the beer made by some offshoot of the Busch family. It was awful. I tried so hard to give it away to guests and neighbors that dropped by. It took a year to rid my fridge of it.

Lol -says the official GRB Kraftig denouncer.

I like all those beers. Sounds like a jackpot.
