Corona is/was a proper faddy drink , that is forced on you with a soppy bit of lime wedged in the neck .
Myself i think its crap - Palma Luca is waaaaaaay better and you dont need to look like Del Boy drinking that !
 
It really wouldn't surprise me in this shop. They look well dodgy and gab away in their own language so god only knows what they are plotting.

Genuine query - how do you go about reporting that you think you've bought dodgy brew beer?

I got 6 Coronas last night, didn't taste amazing but thought they were maybe not cold enough. Had 2 and felt pretty sleepy and a bit of headache. I have four left today, fancied 'em after a dull day at work and it being so hot and, just looking at the bottles, thought they didn't look quite right.

I watched Watchdog a while back and they were saying that if it's dodgy, often it has printing errors on it etc - so I look on the back, and lo and behold it's apparently brewed in Burton-upton-Trent. 'Upton'. I think I've been fiddled.

Got 'em from Nisa on the corner of Fairfax Ave (or it might have changed to Premier now) and, to be honest, I'm pissed off 'cos I want a nice cold beer without worry of ****ing my guts up. Anyone know owt?

Cheers.

Morning PH, I work for the brewery that distributes Corona. It's actually brewed and imported direct from Mexico and we then distribute it under license (should say on the back of the bottle). Don't think there is a dedicated helpline for Corona but if you call 0845 7112244 that's the consumer helpline on Carling and they may be able to help.
 
I can honestly say I've never been served Corona with a slice of lime.

And it I did I'd give the barman a slap.
 
Update: Trading Standards asked for my postal address, so I guess I'm gonna get some forms to fill in.

Filling in forms ? How about just going to the place first and then maybe filling in forms. ? Just a thought like.

Typically, it is easier for them to sell you poisonous fake crap then it is for you to get anything done about it. Bet the counterfeiters didn't have to fill in any forms! They just piss in the bottle and sell you it, you have to jump through hoops to complain.

Bet if we went and put their windows through we'd be in more trouble for being "Vigilantes" then they are for being robbing theiving poisoning scumbags. Who says crime doesn't pay!

....any road up - had a pint of York Brewery's 'Yorkshire Terrier' in my local, this lunchtime. Lovely. No frigging lime, either.....

I love a pint of real ale, a nice dark one preferably. I just don't think it's a summer drink though.

Hot weather calls for a colder, crispier drink for me.

Yeah, ok, you are on the money on that one. But my local is a stone-built, stone-floored ex-farmhouse. Very cool in itself - so the beer is very cool as well. Choice of Terrier, Bateman's XB and a Mild. Cheers! <cheers>
 
The reason they originally served Corona with a wedge of line on the neck of the bottle was to keep flies from falling in.
I think it's awful to be honest. I prefer a good pint of Staropramen.
