About this deal
He's the 'Chulapo', who were part of Madrid's society in the 19th century. They originated from a sense of pride for their neighbourhood where they were born and raised, famous for their vibrant and elaborate style of dress. Today, they represent the people of modern Madrid, full of life and energy! It's this progressive spirit of modern Madrid that inspired us to make Madrí Excepcional.

The Madrí we have in the UK, Madrí Excepcional, is a collaboration with the original brewer La Sagra and worldwide brand Malson Coors (aka the Coors beer brand). Madrid is famous for the passion of its people and this passion is embodied by the “Chulapos”, a group of people in Spanish society in the 19th century who were famous for their elaborate style of dress and cheeky attitude. Today, the term is used to refer to anybody from Madrid and this style and attitude lives on in modern day Madrid. I’ve drank Madri on it’s own as well as having a burger with it, and it does the job well on both occasions.I’d definitely put this in the same leagues as the other branded lagers you’ve probably had: Peroni, Moretti, San Miguel and Estrella Damm.
According to Brown, this is a common strategy: ‘If you’ve got the distribution points, you can copy somebody else’s brand, not have that brand in your distribution, and say, “But this one’s just as good.”’ Spicy. I have tried a few cans and I can honestly say that I like the lager. It’s just like you’d expect from a lager, and has that nice crisp lager taste. I wondered why I had been seeing quite a bit of what seems to be the new brand that is Madrí, so I done a bit of reading.And then there was the distribution: Molson Coors was already supplying a lot of bars. ‘The brand already owned Carling, the biggest beer in the country,’ says Brown. ‘All they had to say to pubs was: “Well, you’ve got Carling. Do you want some Madrí as well?”’
