Its place in Anheuser-Busch InBev

One of AB InBev's four global brands.

Corona sits with Budweiser, Stella Artois and Michelob ULTRA as a global brand and leads AB InBev's premium portfolio; in the 50 US states Constellation Brands holds the perpetual licence, so AB InBev sells Corona everywhere except the United States.
