Corona Premier 6Pk

Corona Premier 6Pk is a light Mexican lager brewed at 4.0% ABV, sold here as a 6-pack of 12 oz bottles. Produced by Grupo Modelo, one of Mexico's largest and most recognized brewing operations, Corona Premier positions itself as the brand's premium low-calorie option — a beer built around smoothness and restraint rather than bold flavor, using a slower brewing process and a refined barley blend to distinguish itself from typical light lagers.

Quick Facts: ABV: 4.0%  |  Origin: Nava, Coahuila, Mexico  |  Style: Light Lager  |  Brewery: Grupo Modelo

Production & Heritage

Grupo Modelo, founded in 1925 in Mexico City, operates one of its primary brewing facilities in Nava, Coahuila. Corona Premier is brewed with water, barley malt, non-malted cereals, hops, and a bottom-fermenting yeast strain — a classic lager fermentation approach. What sets Premier apart within the Corona lineup is its slower brewing method and a unique barley blend designed to yield a smoother, more refined body than standard light beers, which often sacrifice flavor for calorie reduction.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with light cereal grain and a mild honeyed sweetness. There is a subtle fruitiness underneath, kept in check by a clean, neutral backdrop — nothing aggressive or overly perfumed.

Taste: On the palate, Corona Premier enters soft and even-bodied with a gentle malt sweetness. The mid-palate brings faint fruit and honey notes before transitioning to a balanced, crisp center. The overall impression is light and approachable, with more character than many beers in the ultra-light category.

Finish: The finish is clean and pleasantly dry, with no lingering bitterness or cloying sweetness. It wraps up quickly and leaves a refreshing sensation that encourages another sip.

How to Drink Corona Premier

Corona Premier drinks best ice-cold, straight from the bottle or poured into a chilled pilsner glass. A lime wedge squeezed into the neck is the classic Corona ritual and adds a bright citrus accent that complements the beer's clean profile. It works well in a Michelada, where the smooth body holds up against tomato juice, hot sauce, and lime. A Beer Margarita (beergarita) benefits from Premier's low bitterness and subtle sweetness. It also shines in a simple Shandy mixed with lemonade for a low-ABV warm-weather cooler.

Best For

• Backyard barbecues and outdoor gatherings where a light, easy-drinking beer is ideal
• Health-conscious drinkers seeking lower-calorie alternatives without sacrificing smoothness
• Poolside or beach sessions in warm weather
• Casual weeknight dinners paired with lighter fare

Why Corona Premier?

Corona Premier exists to solve a specific problem: most light beers strip away too much flavor in pursuit of fewer calories. The slower brewing process and tailored barley blend used here produce a noticeably smoother, more balanced beer than many competitors in the low-calorie segment. At 4.0% ABV, it remains sessionable without tasting diluted. For drinkers who enjoy the Corona brand identity but want a lighter, more refined option than Corona Extra or Corona Light, Premier fills that gap cleanly.
