Modelo Especial vs Negra - Which is Better?
Ойын-сауық
After reviewing the Negra Modelo, Alessandro and Joe realize there is an epic vs. battle right at their fingertips that needed to be seen through. When the munch dunkel inspired Negra goes head to head against it's more famous, juggernaut of a counterpart the Especial... which beer will come out on top and take it's place as the king of the Model beers?

Negra. It's not even a question. Since I tried it the night I saw your Negra Review, it has become one of my favorite Beers period! 🎉 🥂 🍻

It's funny, I tried the Negra for the first time last week too after watching their review and could not agree more about how it's superior to the Especial. I have to go a little bit more out of the way here to get it, but very worth it.
The Negra is so much better but I understand why some people like like the lighter beer. I love darker beers, more flavor.

We tend to love dark beers too, so I'm sure that played a big part in the decisions we made while doing this vs battle.
The differences are weird. I give the edge to Negra.
I'm all Negra. Nice breakdown my friends.

Just getting caught up on your last few videos, moving the Modelo series here. Super fun vs battle! I think you're right that a lot of people don't know how good the Modelo Negra is. Which is such a shame. I find it's even better in a can, but that's me.

As always, thanks for watching and for the kind words Jim! It’s funny, neither of us can get the canned version of Negra but we’re so curious to try it.
You need to try the Rochefort 10, best trappist beer out there.

Great great great review. Negra is my favorite beer. So smooth. Tasty. Light. Crisp. A little more kick at 5.4.

Love fun beer facts!
Negra for sure but they both are good regular. Modelo is good for the summer.

Very true!
There are 3 more versions, the pure malt one, the amber one and the wheat one, I don't know if they are for sale there, they are rare to find here in Mexico

Pure malt sounds amazing. Wish I could’ve those here in Canada
I would have to go with the Negra too if comparing side by side, but it's not that easy to find here in Canada like Joe said. Wish they had better distribution here, would be a huge seller.

I know! It’s next to impossible to find here in 🇨🇦 Such a shame.
They are both good. It depends on the day of the week what i choose

Both are delicious!
I'm a mexican in Mexico City. We are really used to drink both, but I usually avoid Negra because it's more likely to get really drunk 🤣🤣 Victoria and Modelo Especial are waaaay more usual than Negra and even Corona. Somebody already told you about Indio, but I usually won't drink Cuauhtémoc-Moctezuma beers, really don't like it.

Haha yeah that extra percent of alcohol will definitely sneak up on you! What are some of your favorites? I’ve spent a lot of time in Mexico and really enjoy the beer culture there. What do you think of Bohemia?
Ales, what's the shirt you are wearing in this video? 🤔

It's a beer T-shirt that my wife got for me when we started the channel. It says "Team work" and there are 3 pints on the front of it. Not sure exactly where she got it.

I can’t get that one in Canada unfortunately, but read up on it and it sound delicious. Do you prefer it over the especial?

“Quite a few…… quite a few surprises.” Oh okay 😅
If you really like "Negra Modelo".... you should try "Bohemia Oscura" and "Noche Buena Bock", those beers are way better than "Negra Modelo" .... Cheers.

Can’t get either of those in Canada unfortunately, but have heard great things from other viewers! Will make sure to give them a try next time I’m in Mexico. Cheers and thanks for watching!
As a European it makes me kind of anxious seeing beer without foam. Negra Modelo is different from Modelo Especial. Like compairing "tasting beer" with "drinking beer".

It is a really unsettling sight, isn’t it??
Get your hands on some Pacifico. Bottle. Never the can. It's the best beer in Mexico. Trust me dude. Negra is good, but not my cup of tea.

Love Pacifico! Never seen it for sale here in Canada but have had it a bunch of times in Mexico.
5:55 might want to be careful pronouncing negra bro
Comparing Modelo Especial to NEGRA MODELO, is comparing apples to oranges. It's dumb. If you're going to compare Negra Modelo to anything it should be to it's oldest and main competitor in Mexico (available in the US also), Indio, from Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma. Both of them are excellent beers.
