Tasting Notes
refreshingSmoothdark malt
With origins in the 1920s, Modelo was first brewed alongside fellow local beer Corona at the Mexico City brewery Cervecería Modelo in 1925. For decades, these two beers dominated Mexican beer culture before eventually making their way to the U.S. In 1990, Modelo Especial introduced American beer drinkers to a different kind of Mexican beer: a full-flavored lager rich with a smooth taste and crisp finish.
Since the early 2010’s Modelo has been under the ownership of AB-InBev.
Tasting Notes
Pouring a chestnut brown colour with long lasting ivory foam. This smooth lager has rich aromas of freshly baked brown bread, subtle honey, and a floral and herbal hop aroma. The palate drinks very smooth and is balanced nicely thanks to refreshing carbonation and just the right amount of bitterness.
Method
Still produced in Mexico City, Modelo Negra Lager is brewed with the same specifications and techniques used by traditional German lager brewers. Pilsner and dark Munich malts along with Noble German hops are used today as they were almost 100 years ago.
