Here’s the practical difference:

  • Flavor/body: Corona Familiar is marketed as having a slightly fuller flavor, while Corona Extra is the classic lighter, crisp “beach lager” profile. (Corona USA)
  • Alcohol (ABV): Familiar: 4.8% ABV vs Extra: 4.6% ABV (U.S. product info). (Corona USA)
  • Nutrition (per 12 oz, per Corona USA): Familiar is a bit higher — 156 cal / 14.6g carbs vs Extra 148 cal / 13.9g carbs. (Corona USA)
  • Packaging/positioning: Familiar is commonly promoted in a shareable 32 oz “Familiar” bottle format for gatherings; Extra is the standard flagship you see everywhere in regular bottles/cans. (Corona USA)

Bottom line: Familiar is basically “Extra, but a touch richer and slightly stronger,” often sold in that bigger share-size format.
