Modelo adds mango, chile to Chelada lineup

Modelo’s Chelada line has a brand new addition — Mango y Chile.

Brewed with Mexican beer, as well as mango and chili peppers, the beverage features sweet and spicy flavors, the Chicago-based company said.

“Modelo Chelada Mango y Chile honors the michelada tradition, while providing an authentic mango flavor experience that drinkers know and love,” Greg Gallagher, vice president of brand marketing at Modelo, said. “The Modelo brand was built on Mexican authenticity, and we remain true to our roots by offering this spin on a classic michelada.”

The new Modelo Chelada Mango y Chile joins the line’s previously launched flavors — Especial, Tamarindo Picante and Limón y Sal.

Modelo’s Chelada Mango y Chile comes in 24-oz. cans that contain 3.5% ABV.
