San Miguel
San Miguel Brewery Inc. (SMB) is the largest producer of beer in the
Philippines, with nine out of ten beer drinkers preferring its brands. San
Miguel Beer was first produced by La Fabrica de Cerveza de San Miguel,
an upstart brewery in the heart of Manila that began its operations in 1890.
It received the Royal Grant from the Spanish king to brew beer in
the Philippines, then a colony of Spain. In 1963, the brewery was
renamed San Miguel Corp. (SMC) to reflect its growing ventures
into food and packaging.
San Miguel
As the beer business grew at a steady pace, it provided the
foundation from which SMC expanded its interests from food,
beverage and packaging, to power, oil, airline and infrastructure.
Today, SMC is the country’s biggest diversified conglomerate.
