Modelo Especial Chelada is a blend of Modelo Especial mixed with the tomato flavors, salt and lime. The beer is packed in a ready-to-drink 24oz can.
Constellation Brands Beer Division chief marketing officer Jim Sabia said that quality, authenticity and well-balanced flavor are equities of the Modelo Especial brand, and those characteristics are reflected in this new Chelada recipe.
"The Modelo Especial Chelada is a delicious, ready-to-drink cerveza preparada that meets our consumers' thirst for an invigorating, authentic Chelada," added Sabia.
All the retail locations across the country feature Modelo Especial Chelada. In fall 2013, the company initially introduced the beer in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Chicago.
Beer brands offered by the company in the US include Corona Extra, Corona Light, Modelo Especial, Negra Modelo, Pacifico and Victoria.
