Modelo is a Mexican beer brand that produces several types of beer. The most popular type is Modelo Especial, which is a light, crisp, pilsner-style beer. It is a rich, full-flavored Mexican lager that delivers a crisp, refreshing taste. Modelo Especial was first brewed in Mexico City in 1925. Negra Modelo is another type of beer produced by Modelo, which is modeled after the Munich-born dunkel style. It is made with roasted caramel malts and brewed longer for a slightly richer, dark-brass-colored beer. Modelo Especial is most commonly served in 355 ml (12 U.S. fl oz) glass bottles, although it can also be found in 12-U.S.-fluid-ounce (355 ml) cans.
