#1 AB InBev had to divest itself of the Modelo brand in the US in 2013 to comply with anti-trust regulators when it acquired interests in the Mexican company that previously owned it.

#2 I like Negro Modelo, but I don't think we are allowed to say 'negro' any more.

#3 I like that one too Steve. Just think of it as saying "Black" in Spanish. Plus, if someone gives you a hard time about it, you have a nice glass bottle to konk them on the head with.
