I don't know how Corona did, but Bud Light does appear to be struggling. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/29/business/bud-light-sales.html

@thesalamander“In the week ending June 3, Bud Light’s sales revenue—the brand’s dollar income—was down 24.4 percent compared to the same week a year ago.”

"The company’s global CEO, Michel Doukeris, said on May 4 that the declining Bud Light sales represented about 1 percent of Anheuser-Busch’s global volume.

Weird, this mention didn't show up in my notifications.

I bought Corona so much during the pandemic. My boss would always call me and ask how my weekend was, and I would tell him, I got Corona. He would tell me to take a week off. Best purchase ever.
