This filing went on record 15 July 2026, before the beer reached a shelf. Every week's new filings, read and delivered Tuesday morning.
It is the only label filing we hold from Modelo. It is one of 112 pilsner labels approved in July 2026. It cleared 6 days after it was filed. It is an imported label, filed for US distribution.
The label presents a symmetrical design centred on a large black sans-serif wordmark 'Modelo' with 'Especial' in script below, flanked by two small golden lions supporting a stylized 'M' emblem dated 'EST. 1925'. The field is a light blue with a warm tan and orange striped header band, and 'CERVEZA' appears twice in the upper curved sections. The overall composition is a vertical-panel split, with regulatory and production information occupying the left column and the main brand mark dominating the right.
From the label“Label explicitly states 'CERVEZA TIPO PILSEN' (Pilsen type beer) and 'PILSEN TYPE BEER' on back label. ABV 4.5% and 355ml/12 fl oz can format confirmed on label.”
