Americans avoiding Corona beer amid coronavirus outbreak: survey

Corona beer is apparently taking a hit as the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread globally.

38% of beer drinkers said they would not under any circumstances buy Corona as the deadly virus continues to spread, according to a survey conducted by 5W Public Relations.

The public relations firm behind the poll—5WPR—shared its methodology with The Dispatch. It reached 737 American “beer-drinkers” on the phone earlier this week, asking them the following:

Are you a beer drinker?

Are you a Corona drinker?

Is Corona related to the coronavirus?

In light of the coronavirus, do you plan to stop drinking Corona?

Would you buy Corona in a store?

Would you order a Corona in a restaurant/bar/public venue?

Would you buy Corona under any circumstances now?

5WPR would not provide the individual results to each of these questions, but its press release includes some partial data. First, the firm reports that “38 percent of beer-drinking Americans would not buy Corona under any circumstances now.” And second, according to the release: “Only 4 percent” of respondents who said they usually drink Corona would stop.

Nor Bud. Nor Coors. Nor lots of others. That's just my personal beer preference.
