6 Things You Didn’t Know
About Modelo Beer

If you’re a fan of crisp, refreshing beers with a rich heritage, then you’ve probably enjoyed a Modelo or two. This iconic Mexican beer has a storied history and some surprising facts that even the most dedicated beer enthusiasts might not know. Plus, there’s a special way to enjoy it at Silverton Casino that you definitely don’t want to miss. Here are six things you didn’t know about Modelo Beer:

1. A Legacy That Spans Nearly a Century

Modelo Beer was first brewed in 1925 by Grupo Modelo in Mexico City. For nearly 100 years, it has been a staple in Mexican culture and beyond, known for its high-quality ingredients and consistent flavor. This long history is a testament to the brand’s commitment to excellence.

2. Two Iconic Varieties

Modelo is best known for its two flagship beers: Modelo Especial and Negra Modelo. Modelo Especial is a rich, full-flavored pilsner-style lager that has become one of the most popular beers in the United States. On the other hand, Negra Modelo is a Munich-style dunkel (dark lager) with a smooth, caramelized flavor that appeals to those who prefer a darker beer.

3. A Global Favorite

While Modelo is proudly Mexican, its popularity has spread worldwide. It’s now available in over 180 countries, making it one of the most recognized and enjoyed beers globally. In fact, Modelo Especial has become the top-selling imported beer in the United States, surpassing even some domestic brands in popularity.

4. Brewed With Pure Ingredients

Modelo’s commitment to quality is evident in its ingredients. The beer is brewed using pure water, malted barley, non-GMO corn, and hops. These ingredients contribute to Modelo’s signature crisp taste and smooth finish. The brewing process also adheres to strict quality controls to ensure each batch meets the brand’s high standards.

5. A Perfect Pairing With Food

Modelo’s balanced flavor profile makes it an excellent companion for various dishes. Whether you’re enjoying spicy Mexican cuisine at Mi Casa, grilled meats, or even seafood, a cold Modelo enhances the flavors of your meal. It’s particularly well-suited for pairing with dishes that have a bit of heat, as the beer’s refreshing qualities help to cool the palate.
