BEERSATURDAY 376: THE BEER THAT BECAME FAMOUS WITH THE PANDEMIC / BEERSATURDAY 376: A CERVEJA QUE FICOU FAMOSA COM A PANDEMIA (EN/PT)

After having its name associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, the brand went through a series of turbulences. People associated its product with the spread of the virus, while others claimed it was a medicine that would combat the spread of Covid. In an act of fighting the pandemic, a group overturned a truck with beers and destroyed all the bottles of the CORONA brand. Many baristas and merchants avoided selling their product. The madness and fear that the pandemic period caused in people was surreal.

The most interesting thing was in the post-pandemic period, CORONA EXTRA took over the market, it was one of the best-selling brands in Brazil and in some countries around the world, the success of this beer grew exponentially among consumers, for a time, it ended up becoming a symbol of resistance and survival against the virus. I even participated in some celebrations after the end of the pandemic, people made a point of drinking CORONA.

Although many people think that the name corona is related to the virus, its real reference is the solar corona.

This is #BeerSaturday week and I would like to invite @lobaobh to write a post in any language about beer with at least 3 pictures.
