Ginebra San Miguel

Ginebra San Miguel is the Philippines’ leading gin since 1834.It was first produced after the abolition of the Galleon Trade.

Acknowledged as the world’s number one gin, it is a Dutch-type gin of 80-proof produced from selected spirits and botanical extracts. Its predominant flavor comes from juniper berries.

It was served during the Malolos Convention in 1898. National Artist Fernando Amorsolo designed the label (St. Michael) to finance his studies abroad.

 

The round bottle was designed after the perfect packaging – the egg.

 

It has been referred to as ‘stainless,’ referring to its pure, clear, and safe quality.

Ginebra San Miguel Flavors

From the makers of the largest selling gin in the world and multi-awarded gin brand, comes another world-class hard liquor beverage that is perfect for every occasion. 

 

Ginebra San Miguel Flavors is a flavoured spirit that has just the right amount of kick to jumpstart your party—be it an elaborate birthday celebration, the usual Friday night jam, or a simple get together with your barkada. 

 Sample Recipe

It’s easy on the pockets, too. At 700mL a bottle, it would cost you only Php 60 to buy either one of our variants, strawberry and lychee.

 

With its fruity flavors and low alcohol content (35 alcohol proof), it goes down smooth and is very easy to consume. 

Ginebra San Miguel Flavors is best served chilled, but if you’re feeling more adventurous, you can use it as a mixer to create an original cocktail recipe for you and your friends to enjoy. 

 

San Miguel Apple and Lemon Flavored Beer

San Miguel has just launched their set of flavored beers. Do you remember Cali Shandy back in the 90′s? It’s something like that but it has 3% alcohol (Cali doesn’t have alcohol content). This is for people who want to socialize with their beer drinking friends without having the bitter taste of beer. The packaging of their flavored beers is identical with the San Miguel All Malt Premium Beer. 

It has two flavors: Apple and Lemon. I prefer the Lemon flavor because it’s just like drinking Sprite combined with beer. These flavored beers are not available in all bars nationwide. Their flavored beers are in line with their Lifestyle beers such as Cerveza Negra and the All Malt Premium Beer.

 

It was not that expensive too! Each 330ml bottle will not exceed P30.00 each.

My favorite flavor is the APPLE one, because its sweetness eliminates the bitter taste of the beer. I also recommend that you drink this one, ice cold! I’m sure this one will be a hit to all Filipinos.

Three words to describe it. Best beer ever! First, the beer has only 3% alcohol content and that made it light for me. Second, the bitter taste is almost inexistent! First time I drank it like drinking an ordinary juice. Although it may seem like a ladies drink, I don't care. The next time you go to parties or gatherings,look for one and enjoy yourself an ice cold flavored beer! Drink Moderately! =)

Red Horse Beer

 

 

  

Gold Eagle

 This seems to be the budget alternative to SMB. Priced slightly lower, the Grande version can go for as low as 39 Pesos per 1 liter bottle!

 

Light malt finish with hop accents. Very slightly different than the pilsen variety, except for the hop accents and malt finish. Bright-gold color with small hop nose, and a very ordinary dry hop flavor. Finishes just like it starts with a small malt and brief dry hop aftertaste. An enjoyable beer that is better than Budwieser when served cold.

At most local Karaoke joints  you will have no problem finding this beer.

Surprisingly, this beer is not too bad; my worries were completely unfounded. The taste is similar to SMB, if slightly lighter and goes down very well. I rarely see it sold in its smaller bottles, most people seem to buy the Grande Version (1 liter) right away.

San Miguel Super Dry is the first and only dry beer in the Philippines. It is known for the strong impression of its aromatic hop: A light to medium body and accompanied by a bitterness that is just right. All in all, giving it a crisp dry taste with an elegant finish. 

This brilliant light amber lager suits individuals who believe they work hard to live well. With their hectic lifestyle, this beer is the perfect treat after a hard day's work: The beer you deserve to drink!

San Miguel Super Dry is available in 330ml Bottle Php27.00; 330mL Can Php36.00

San Miguel Premium

Wow, what is that? This is a new addition and was only recently introduced. San Miguel Premium has a more international taste and is positioned as a more exclusive variation of SMB.

Given the day-to-day activities and pressures in the work place, we sometimes need to unplug from the grueling grind with San Miguel Premium All-Malt Beer to get back to tackle on what’s next with more gusto. 

This premium lager is made of 100% malt and contains 5.0% alcohol by volume. It allows beer drinkers to refresh their senses into balance so they would feel renewed to take on what’s next. It has unparalleled smoothness and taste that allows them to relax and recover their zest for life. 

San Miguel Premium All-Malt Beer is available in 330mL bottles and cans. 

It can be found in more upmarket restaurants and is regularly priced at 50-70 Pesos per bottle.

If you're a big fan of SanMigLight or its Pale Pilsen cousin, you'll find yourself easily

captivated with  San Miguel Premium All-Malt Beer.

The problem is – it tastes very good! This stuff makes you want to drink more and more of it. Thankfully it’s not so popular yet and therefore rarely available.

But when you found a bar or restaurant with San Miguel Premium, prepare yourself that you will stay for a while longer.



SM Strong Ice

San Miguel Light tastes great but is too light for you? Then why not go with San Mig Ice?

San Miguel Light (SML)
San Mig Light is the low-calorie beer that gives you the full beer flavor, the same beer alcohol, yet less filling. The perfect balance between right and light.

San Mig Light has a very interesting flavor. A lot of people compare it with Corona, although it’s not made of corn. It’s very nice for a night out, if you are planning to chat with friends, play billiard or dance the night away, as it’s very light and doesn’t make you tired or drunk easily.

It has very little CO2 that fades quickly, so it really tastes best very cold and you can’t take too long to empty the bottle, which shouldn’t be a real problem, as it’s only 300ml.

I see many ladies drinking San Mig Light and liking it.The design of the bottle looks also cool at the billiard table, though!

SML is usually about 22-30 Pesos per bottle.

There are many myths concerning beer, but the biggest of all perhaps is that it is no more than a fizzy, yellow, bland tasting beverage. Many people think that most beers are much like all the rest, but that simply isn’t the case.

The truth is that beer is as varied and exciting as food itself, and that shouldn’t be surprising because beer is food! Yet many people miss the boat on beer, usually sticking to the same brand of beer for most of their lives. 

Consider, however, what you eat. Would you want to eat the same food and nothing else for the rest of your life? Even if you choose your favorite food of all, this would be a boring proposition indeed.
