Modelo Especial
The golden standard of crisp and refreshing Mexican lager
This classic Mexican lager delivers a beautifully balanced taste with a light hop character and a crisp, clean finish. Notes of orange blossom honey aroma and a hint of herb make it exceptionally refreshing, especially when served cold.

The story behind it
Grupo Modelo was founded in Mexico in 1925 and quickly became a pioneer in the country's brewing industry. Modelo Especial was first brewed as a model of what a classic, high-quality Mexican lager should be, and it has since grown into one of the most popular imported beers in the United States.
Brewed in Mexico since 1925, Modelo Especial is crafted by Grupo Modelo's expert brewers using a high-quality blend of water, barley malt, non-malted cereals, and hops. The iconic gold-foiled bottle was originally designed to reflect the premium quality of the Pilsner-style lager inside.
