This filing went on record 16 December 2024, before the beer reached a shelf. Every week's new filings, read and delivered Tuesday morning.
This is the 4th of 7 label filings we hold from Modelo. It cleared 3 days after it was filed. It was brewed under contract — OZ TRADING GROUP INC holds the permit, which is ordinary in the register and easy to miss on a shelf. It is an imported label, filed for US distribution.
A split-field label dominated by a gold upper section bearing the word "CERVEZA" and a charcoal-black lower half. The center is anchored by large white sans-serif capitals reading "Modelo" with "Negra" in script below in gold, and a handwritten signature rendered in dark grey script at the bottom. A small circular seal reading "Old Mexico Originalidad" appears near the top center.
From the label“Beer name 'Modelo Negra' (negra = dark/black in Spanish) combined with 'Old Mexico Original Recipe Since 1925' and dark black label design strongly implies a dark Mexican lager; label states 'CERVEZA' and 'BEER' but no explicit style designation. Imported by OZ Trading Group Inc., 2806 Nogal Street Hidalgo, TX 78557; Made in México — geography conflict confirms contract/import relationship.”
