Corona Beer <br />Production Suspended Grupo Modelo made <br />the announcement <br />via Twitter on Friday. The company, owned by Anheuser-Busch Inbev, <br />also makes Modelo and Pacifico beers. Production and marketing of <br />its beer are being halted because the Mexican government has deemed <br />it a non-essential business during the <br />coronavirus pandemic. Mexico suspended non-essential businesses <br />and activities until April 30 in an effort to <br />stop the spread of the virus. Grupo Modelo CEO Bill Newlands said <br />there is "ample supply to meet consumer <br />demand," and they don't expect shortages. Beer and alcohol sales have been on <br />the rise over the past month in the U.S.
