The only problem is, Modelo Especial is owned by Anheuser Busch worldwide. Still, in the U.S. only, it is owned by Constellation Brands out of New York, so you have that.

Modelo is not owned by AB InBev in the United States. AB InBev had to divest Modelo because of antitrust issues.

Modelo is Bud Light Light — lighter and gayer. Yuengling can’t be #1 if stores keep running out. My Walmart down the street has it for a day at a time, then out for three or four days!
