Established in 1890, La Fabrica de Cerveza de San Miguel, Southeast Asia's first brewery produced and bottled what would eventually become one of the bestselling beers in the region. Within the span of a generation, San Miguel Beer would become an icon among beer drinkers.
By 1914, San Miguel Beer was being exported from its headquarters in Manila to Shanghai, Hong Kong and Guam. A pioneer in Asia, San Miguel established a brewery in Hong Kong in 1948, the first local brewer in the crown colony.
Today, San Miguel Beer--the Company's flagship product--is one of the largest selling beers and among the top 10 beer brands in the world. While brewing beer is the company's heritage, San Miguel subsequently branched out into the food and packaging businesses.
From the original cerveza that first rolled off the bottling line, San Miguel Corporation has since diversified to produce a wide range of popular beverage, food and packaging products which have--for over a century--catered to generations of consumers' ever changing tastes.
