Modelo Chelada Negra con Chile Is My New Beer Obsession
Now, let's talk about the important stuff. BEER! We sampled Modelo Chelada Negra con Chile, and holy hell, I love this stuff!
Made with Modelo Negra, it's a smooth, dark Mexican lager-style michelada with bold chile and lime flavors. I've enjoyed several Modelo Cheladas, but this one? It's my current favorite, hands down.
