According to multiple sources, Modelo Especial is currently the best-selling beer in the US. It has held the top spot for several consecutive months, surpassing Bud Light, which had been the top-selling beer for over two decades. The shift in sales can be attributed to a variety of factors, including a backlash against Bud Lights social media promotion with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, which caused a drop in sales. Modelo Especial is a Mexican lager that has been steadily growing in popularity in the US.
