Small Craft Advisory: The Modelos

Crack open a cold one and hop aboard for this week’s segment of Small Craft Advisory, where the tasting notes are crisp but the conversation is a little choppy. In this episode, we’re setting our sights on a triple-threat lineup from the house of Modelo: the classic Modelo Especial, the robust Modelo Negra, and the seasonal newcomer, Modelo Noche Especial. While we start with the best intentions of a professional review, the "advisory" part of our name quickly takes center stage. Before we know it, the tasting notes take a bizarre turn into the worlds of vintage cough syrups, the delicate tannins of Pinot Noirs, and the dark depths of aged rums.It takes a considerable amount of effort—and a very lengthy sidebar—to finally steer the ship back to the beer at hand, but we eventually find our way home. Whether you’re here for the Cerveza or the chaos, make sure you don’t miss a single voyage.
