World's best beer 2025 named beating Budweiser, Guinness and Heineken

Corona, which originates from Mexico, has been crowned punters favourite pint.

That is according to data and marketing firm's Kantar's BrandZ 2025 Most Valuable Global Brands report.
It comes after the crisp beer, usually served with a lime, recorded double digit sales growth outside of its home market.
Its no-alcohol Corona Cero, which became the first beer to sponsor the Olympic Games in Paris last year, also saw a boom in demand.
And it is the second year in a row the tipple, owned by drinks giant AB InBev, has come out on top.
The light beer, celebrating its 100 year anniversary, trumped Budweiser which came second in the rankings.
This was followed by Dutch giant Heineken, Mexican brew Modelo and America's Michelob Ultra, which is a hard find in the UK.
Marcel Marcondes, marketing chief at global brewing giant AB InBev, said: "For Corona to be recognised as the most valuable beer brand in the world in the same year the brand is celebrating its 100-year anniversary shows the power of building brands for the long-term."
Meanwhile, Kantar CEO Chris Jansen added: "With the right level of investment and strategic focus, brands have huge potential to drive growth for their owners.
"Anheuser-Busch InBev is a perfect example of this in action.
"Through Corona and their other brands, they have mastered the ability to cut through in the face of changing consumer behaviour."
All the beers that have lowered in strength
British pub classic Stella Artois came ninth in the ranks, while Guinness was at the bottom of the leader board.
It comes after the Irish stout has risen in popularity in recent years.
Owner Diageo was forced to ration supplies to pubs in the run-up to Christmas due to increased demand.

Punters are paying more for the price of a pint in both the supermarket and the pub.
How to save money buying alcohol
Alcohol can be pricey if you're planning a party or hosting an event but there are ways to cut costs.
It's always important to drink responsibly, here, Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements share some tips on getting booze for the best price.
Stocking up can mean big savings on drinks, especially if you want to buy wine or fizz.
The big supermarkets regularly offer discounts of 25% when you buy six or more bottles of wine. The promotions typically run in the lead up to occasions such as Bank Holidays, Christmas and Easter.
If you know you are going to need booze later in the year, it can be worth acting when you see offers.
Before buying your preferred drink make sure you shop around to find the best price – you can use a comparison site such as pricerunner.com or trolley.co.uk.
Don't forget that loyalty cards can unlock better savings so make sure you factor that in too.
If you like your plonk, wine clubs can also be a good way to save money and try new varieties. You'll usually have to pay a membership fee in return for cheaper price so work out if you will be buying enough to make the one off cost worthwhile.
Costs have risen steadily as manufacturers and pubs grapple with higher alcohol taxes, soaring utility bills and increased staffing costs.
A new report from the The Morning Advertiser said London now tops the list for the priciest pints, with pub owners charging an average of £6.10.
The cost of popular brands in the capital has also climbed, with a pint of Guinness reaching £6.45, Birra Moretti £7.17, and Camden Hells £7.05 since February.
And it's not only London feeling the squeeze.
The survey revealed that pint prices in the Midlands increased by 5.15% between January and April.
