Corona Alcohol-Free Beers

Corona is the Mexican lager Cervecería Modelo launched in 1925, and AB InBev has owned Grupo Modelo since 2013. Its alcohol-free beer is Corona Cero: 0.0%, 17 kcal per 100ml, and the UK 12-pack says it’s brewed in the UK. It’s also the global beer sponsor of the Olympic Games.

Who are Corona?

Cervecería Modelo opened its first brewery in Mexico in 1925 and launched Corona Extra the same year. AB InBev completed its takeover of Grupo Modelo in June 2013, in a deal valued at $20.1 billion; in the US the brand is licensed to Constellation Brands, but in the UK it’s sold by AB InBev UK.

Corona Cero

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 describes it as light, crisp and clean with a smooth finish, best served chilled with a wedge of lime. It’s 0.0%, the UK label adds “Not more than 0.05% alcohol”, and it has 17 kcal per 100ml.

In December 2025 AB InBev opened its first UK de-alcoholisation facility, at its Magor brewery in South Wales, to make Corona Cero for the UK, The Caterer reported, and the UK 12-pack now says “Brewed in the UK”. It won a silver medal at the World Beer Awards 2024. The UK label doesn’t say whether it’s vegan, it isn’t gluten-free, and we haven’t scored it yet. Corona Sunbrew, a different 0.0% Corona with added vitamin D, isn’t sold in the UK.

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, and in February 2025 it extended the deal to run to Brisbane 2032. Our Corona Cero review has our take.
