Explanation




San Miguel beer has become one of the national icons of the Philippines.
It was founded in 1890 as a brewery, the company has over 100 facilities in the Philippines, Southeast Asia, China and Australia. Filipinos would howl high and low when they see this national symbol abroad, as my friends do in HongKong, Singapore, Australia and especially Europe - - but where is the true origin of this beer being dubious?

Where is the true origin of San Miguel Beer?

Many rumors from Spanish people said – “it’s a Spanish beer“. Spain is Europe’s 3rd largest beer producer but next only to Germany and the UK and San Miguel is Spain’s biggest beer export! I guess everyone knew that this beer is produced in Malaga – that beautiful coastal city in Andalusia.

However, there’s a lot of versions relating to the origin of San Miguel Beer. Some says that the very first Philippine San Miguel beer was produced in Manila in 1890 by Spanish monks using traditional methods in a district called San Miguel according to records. Another version says it was first brewed by a German Brew Master using traditional Bavarian methods under a royal Spanish grant.

And the very first Spanish San Miguel beer was produced by San Miguel Fabricas de Cerveza y Malta S.A. in Malaga in 1957 (but why does it say 1516 on it’s label?).
