“Consumers today are looking for authentic experiences and new flavors,” said Greg Gallagher, VP, brand marketing, Constellation Brands Beer Division. “As our first non-tomato-based chelada, Modelo Chelada Limón y Sal provides both by delivering this new refreshing flavor combination based on one of the most traditional Mexican chelada recipes.”
