William Evans, the guiding force behind the company, died in 1934 but the company continued to expand with his brother Frank assuming control. By the end of the 1930s over 170 million bottles of Corona pop were being produced each year - and most of it was sold by the delivery man who came each week to people's doors. The firm had its origins in the temperance movement that was so strong in Britain during the final years of the 19th century. The Rhondda Valleys at this time were in the grip of the "coal rush." They were full of coal mines and the pubs of the region did a thriving business as men, after a day down the pit, were desperate to quench their thirst. As a result drunkenness was rife. a b c d e f "Man who put the fizz into the South Wales Valleys". walesonline.co.uk. 11 October 2007 . Retrieved 10 January 2014. Corona beer is available in a variety of bottle presentations, ranging from the 207 ml (7.0 U.S.floz; 7.3 impfloz) ampolleta (labeled Coronita and just referred as the cuartito) up to the 940ml (31.8U.S.floz; 33.1impfloz) Corona Familiar (known as the familiar, Litro or Mega). A draught version also exists, as does canned Corona in some markets.

Corona is produced domestically by Grupo Modelo, which is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev. Corona will officially have its own limes With the advent of supermarkets, however, the need for door to door delivery gradually dropped away. By the end of the 1980s they were a luxury and like the milk, bread and fish vans that had plied their trade around the streets for years, the Corona delivery man was soon a thing of the past. It didn't stop the sale of the product, it just meant that the personal door to door touch had gone. You may have thought that Corona being called “piss” was little more than a bad joke at the brunt of its yellow color and oft-funky flavor, but the beer being distributed with actual urine in it was a real rumor that circulated in the 1980s thanks to rival beer brand, Heineken. For the record: Corona is not and does not contain urine; it just looks like it, and sometimes smells like it. Corona has four types, and comes in 24 official formats In 1958, the company was bought by the Beecham Group who kept the Corona brand. Although production continued to be centralised in South Wales, depots began to appear all over the United Kingdom. Under new management Corona reached a new audience and during the 1960s was promoted by a series of television advertisements starring British singer and comedian Dave King. [8] With the rise of supermarkets in the late 1960s and 1970s, the public's shopping habits changed and the door-to-door sales reduced. During the 1970s, one of Corona's most memorable advertising campaigns used the slogan Every bubble's passed its FIZZical! [9] In 1987 the company again changed hands, coming under the ownership of Britvic. [9] Britvic closed the Welsh Hills plant in Porth in 1987, with production being transferred to Bolton in Lancashire, England. [3] [10] Later use of the factory [ edit ] The Pop Factory in 2004, based at the former Welsh Hills Factory in Porth Corona beer is currently available in five variants – Extra, Light, Premier, Familiar, and Refresca. Here are their prices on average.a b "Britvic tries Seventies revival for Corona". marketingweek.co.uk. 1 September 1995 . Retrieved 11 January 2014. In 1990, Corona debuted "O Tannenpalm" which celebrated the Holidays. It featured a whistling rendition of the popular Christmas song " O Christmas Tree" as the lights go on one of the palm trees. The commercial has been played every year ever since during the month of December. Corona was a brand of carbonated soft drink produced by Thomas & Evans Ltd in South Wales, and distributed across the United Kingdom. The firm was created by grocers William Thomas and William Evans when they saw a market for soft drinks caused by the growing influence of the temperance movement. The company's first factory was based in Porth, Rhondda, eventually expanding to 87 depots and factories throughout Britain.
