The story behind it

The maker

First brewed in Tacuba, Mexico in 1925 by Grupo Modelo, this historic lager was created with the ambition of establishing a model beer of high quality. Today, it stands as one of the most popular imported beers in the United States, celebrated for its fighting spirit.

How it is made

Brewed in Mexico since 1925, Modelo Especial is crafted with filtered water, malted barley, hops, and corn. The brewery utilizes a slow-brewing process to ensure its signature orange blossom honey aroma and clean finish.
