In GENERAL, skunky beer is skunky because of the bottle color which allows varying degrees of UV A|B light transmission (penetration). Clear bottles allow for the most - then green - then brown. Corona starts out as a "decent" beer, but becomes worse the second it's bottled and then it's all down hill from there along the entire supply chain to your mouth.

If you want an un-skunky beer, choose one in a brown bottle or can.

I get paid high 6 figures for this knowledge. The people who write my checks are morons.


Good to know. That is, it's good to know that you get paid well for knowing the difference between pisswater beer and other beer. In addition, it's not just dark bottles that hold better beer. Dark beer is also a good way to avoid pisswater beer. Think ambers, porters, stouts - good stuff.
