The proper way to drink beer (unless line dancing in a Texas honky-tonk) is in a glass—otherwise, no head, so I’m with you on that one Marianne. But not the Corona, a beer that I consider to be a testement to marketing.
For years, beer in clear glass (Sol, Corona, Pacifico, etc.) was known (at least in Mexico) to be something to be swilled down quickly—not to worry about the taste, just to cool down. Nonetheless, Corona ran a great ad campaign several years ago in the States that convinced many that it was a good, perhaps superior beer. It took off so well that those who used to know better (in Mexico) came along for the ride, and now many down here also think that this is a premium beer.
Of course I am aware that back in England lager became a bigger seller than beer, so perhaps the trend can’t be reversed.
Still if I were paying those prices, I’d opt for something with a bit more flavor.
(and I only wrote this, as you thought no one cared about beer in John’s thread)
