Did you know that Corona Extra has a more sophisticated older brother called Corona Familiar? Because I didn’t until about ten minutes ago when I discovered it at the corner store. It comes in 32 ounce brown bottles and apparently it tastes more like the Corona that they make in Mexico. There’s a lot of internet debate about whether or not it’s the same beer as Corona Extra, and I can’t tell because I don’t have a Corona Extra to compare it to. I think it tastes better than a Corona Extra, but that might just be because the brown bottle keeps the light out so it doesn’t get skunky. It has a 4.5% ABV, which is pretty standard for a crisp lager. It’s extremely drinkable and smooth, and perfect for a hot day at the beach. Too bad it’s a cold day in the city. If you like Corona Extra, you’ll like this beer.
