What is Corona Cero?
Cervecería Modelo launched Corona Extra in Mexico in 1925, and AB InBev has owned Grupo Modelo since 2013. Corona Cero first appeared in Mexico in 2016 and came to the UK in early 2022, sold at first only at Tesco; by June 2022 all of the big four supermarkets had it.
Corona’s description: “Light, crisp, and clean taste with a smooth finish.” It suggests serving it chilled, “often with a wedge of lime”. The ingredients are water, barley malt, maize, sugar, hops and natural flavours. It won a silver medal in the no- and low-alcohol category at the World Beer Awards 2024.
In January 2024 AB InBev became the first brewer in the IOC’s top tier of Olympic sponsors, with Corona Cero as the global beer sponsor of the Olympic Games. In February 2025 it extended the deal to run to Brisbane 2032.
It has 17 kcal per 100ml, or about 56 kcal a bottle, on the label as Tesco lists it. The UK label doesn’t say whether it’s vegan, and it isn’t gluten-free. In December 2025 AB InBev opened its first UK de-alcoholisation unit, at its Magor brewery in South Wales, to make Corona Cero for the UK, The Caterer reported. Our Corona Cero review has more.
