London, June 26 Corona Extra has been voted the world's favourite beer in a new poll.

The Mexican-brewed lager - usually served with a segment of lime - topped the list of more than two million Facebook users, reports The Sun.

It pipped Dutch favourite Heineken, which received 594,475 votes, and Ireland's Guinness which came third with 396,276, to land the honour.

The independent poll was launched by the social networking site.
