Key part supplier: Not named by Constellation Brands in the US; AB InBev internationally Not disclosed

Constellation produces and imports the US licensed Corona beer portfolio; AB InBev holds the international brand business. [1] [2] [4]

Is Corona beer made in China or the USA?

An American license and import business do not establish American production. Constellation’s brand history specifically locates Corona Extra brewing in Mexico. [1] [4]

Same factory, different label

The shared US portfolio also contains Modelo, but Corona’s Light, Premier and citrus Sunbrew extensions have their own brand identities. Corporate affiliation alone cannot demonstrate a common recipe. [1] [4]
