The current logo includes icons of an elephant and lady’s head going hand-in-hand with an open-top crown.
#2. Corona Extra
Corona Extra is a Mexican beer that was created in 1874. It is manufactured by the Tecate brewery, a subsidiary of Grupo Modelo, which also owns some of the most successful importers and bottlers of beer on the world. It’s produced with sugar-cane juice and wheat malt, with flavorings like coriander and bitter orange peel. There are only two facilities that produce this brand in whole Canada and one plant in Michigan (United States). Craft beers are brewing their own version of the original brand.
#3. Skol
Skol is a premium brand of beer that has been brewed in Sweden since 1889. The original recipe was developed from malt, hops and water, but has also been fortified with vitamins and minerals. It’s 100% natural ingredients make it feel as though you’re drinking pure water (which makes sense considering it’s origin). Skol is one of the most well-known brands on the market today; it was even first published by a company in the US. To solve their market saturation, the company started producing semi-frozen water to give their products an extra appeal factor.
