Mexican beer Corona beat tough competition from top brands, 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 wedge of 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.
"Through Corona and their other brands, they have mastered the ability to cut through in the face of changing consumer behaviour."
