Ditto on Corona - it’s absolutely the worst commercial beer-in 1965 Corona was 5cents a bottle across the border - the least expensive “dog” beer available at that Time-it was also then in a little 8 oz clear bottle ( cheaper bottle than amber) - it’s a testament to how gullible we are to...

Ok thanks Jtvann
