About this beer
It's the only label we have from Modelo. It is one of 111 pilsner labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 6 days after it was submitted. It's imported by BALLESTER HERMANOS, INC; its label was approved for US sale.
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.
