Corona, Modelo and Pacifico are brewed in Mexico and imported nationwide by Constellation Brands. In Pennsylvania that means cases at beer distributors, six-packs and twelve-packs at licensed grocery and convenience stores, and draft at many bars. In Maryland most beer is sold at liquor stores, since few grocery stores there hold a beer license. In West Virginia it is in grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations. The Modelo site has a product locator by zip code; the Corona and Pacifico sites do not publish one.
