Grupo Modelo was the Mexican brewer of a few familiar beers to some of us such as Corona and Negra Modelo. I'm sure this news led many to assume that the quality of both or either beer will now be severely reduced due to the recent purchase and supported it with stories like that of Rolling Rock in Latrobe.
In my opinion, there isn't any reason to fret because even if a beer like Corona changes it's not like we are missing out on what we call a "classic" beer. Have you ever had Corona without the lime? To me, it's almost the same as having a Blue Moon without the orange slice. Putrid.
Corona might be an alright beer, but not much more than that. Corona advertisements are mostly about the line rather than the beer that it gets put in.
Just because it's all over your television sets during vacation season doesn't mean it's actually tasty. Corona makes my stomach somewhat upset, especially when there's no lime in it.
When we lose a good local brewery like a Fat Head's or an East End, then we can fret when the big American Brewer tampers with amazing concoctions like Head Hunter IPA and Monkey Boy Hefe. Until then, Corona will be much the same as it always has. Maybe with just more beach ads.
