The story behind it

The maker

Grupo Modelo was founded in Tacuba, Mexico, in 1925 with the vision of creating a premium national lager. Over the decades, its flagship Especial has grown to become one of the most popular and highly decorated imported beers in North America.

How it is made

Brewed in Mexico since 1925, Modelo Especial is crafted by Grupo Modelo, a historic brewhouse committed to high-quality ingredients. Its recipe features orange blossom honey aromas and a slow-brewing process that yields its signature character.
