Sun’s out, Sunbrew’s out: Corona 0.0 Review and Pairing
/
Corona Sunbrew 0.0 is a non-alcoholic Mexican pale lager and is the perfect pairing for a hot summer patio
Summer’s here and the time is right for BBQ and beer! So grab yourself some non-alcoholic Corona Sunbrew 0.0 – it lets you enjoy time grilling and the great taste of Corona all day long without the buzz.
Sunbrew 0.0 is the non-alcoholic version of the quenchable, easy-going Mexican-style pale lager so many beer drinkers have enjoyed for decades.
And Corona doesn’t disappoint with Sunbrew. It’s crisp, pours golden amber in colour with a honey sweetness that helps offset the mild bitterness. And like its alcoholic cousin, it’s perfect with a slice of lime. It’s also only 60 calories a bottle so, how can you go wrong?
After a long Canadian winter and an always-short spring, we’re ready for some warm summer weather. And what cools you down more from the heat than a nice cold beer?!
So, gather your friends and family for a (Canada Day long) weekend BBQ and try a few of these delicious dishes that pair perfectly with Corona’s Sunbrew 0.0.
On the starter menu is some Mexican fare that works nicely with Sunbrew: salsa and chips for dipping and some delicious Elote (Mexican Grilled Corn).
Everyone loves salsa and chips – you can dip all day long. And don’t worry if you feel like grabbing the spicy salsa because Sunbrew mellows out the spice nicely.
Elote is a personal favourite to pair with Corona. Grilling the corn imparts a lovely smokiness. Then, slather the corn with a sauce of butter, mayo, cotija cheese (Parmesan also works), chili and cayenne powder. Squeeze some lime on top and BAM! Perfection! You’d think Sunbrew couldn’t keep up with the creamy corn, but thankfully the slight bitter notes from the hops and malty sweetness balance things out.
Yes, Sunbrew is a little lighter than its alcoholic cousin, Corona Extra or even Corona Light, but the complex flavour profile is still strong enough to let you pair it with heavier BBQ staples like burgers.
Whether you like your burger plain, with cheese or fully loaded with all the fixings, Sunbrew 0.0 is a perfect pairing. Sunbrew is so crisp it cuts through the unctuous beefiness, keeping your palate refreshed between each bite.
After a burger or two, a few ears of elote and a day of salsa-dipping it’s time for some dessert. The ubiquitous lime that tops a Corona bottle is the perfect dessert ingredient. So, a slice of lime-lemon ricotta pound cake, or Key lime pie are an ideal closer to a hot summer day.
These tasty bites provide a nice pairing with Corona Sunbrew 0.0 but there are many more you can serve up. A few other options to try are spicy chicken kebabs, BBQ ribs, salads, fish tacos, fries and hotdogs. You can even serve up a charcuterie board with a variety of cheeses and cured meats.
Grab Corona Sunbrew 0.0 at your local liquor store or in many grocery stores across the country. And, don’t forget the lime when you’re doing the shopping.
