Modelo Just Dropped a Non-Alcoholic Chelada… And Yeah, We Are Trying It

Alright, I’ll be honest… when I heard we were cracking open a non-alcoholic Modelo on The Weekend Buzz, I had the same reaction you probably just did. But hear me out, because this one actually makes sense.

Modelo just dropped their Chelada Limón y Sal Non-Alcoholic, and it’s their first-ever NA option. It’s built to taste like a classic michelada with lime, salt, that smooth cerveza vibe, but just without the alcohol.

What’s Inside This NA Chelada?

This isn’t some watered-down imposter. The Limón y Sal NA version keeps that bold citrus punch with a salty kick, giving you that backyard, “I should be near a grill right now” feeling.

It’s also good for the waistline as it only has around 60 calories and less than 0.5% ABV. So, yeah, you can sip it and still be the responsible adult… or at least look like one.

Basically, it’s a michelada without the “text your ex” side effects.

Modelo’s Flavor Game Is Still Strong

Let’s not forget that Modelo didn’t just wake up one day and say, “Hey, let’s go NA.” They’ve been crushing the Chelada game for years.

You’ve got:

• Chelada Especial (the OG with tomato, lime, salt)
• Mango y Chile (sweet heat)
• Sandía Picante (watermelon with a kick)
• Piña Picante (tropical chaos in a can)
• Naranja Picosa (citrus with attitude)

And of course, staples like Modelo Especial and Negra Modelo are holding it down on the traditional side.

Why This One Actually Works

Non-alcoholic beers are blowing up right now, and Modelo jumping in makes total sense. People want options because you might be pacing yourself, driving, or just trying to survive Monday morning without regrets.

And honestly? If you’re gonna go NA… you might as well still bring the flavor. We’ll crack this one open on The Weekend Buzz and give it the real test.
