San Miguel

EST. CALORIES: 144   ABV: 4.8%

If you’ve had San Miguel in Europe after 2010, you liklely had the 5% version brewed under licence by Carlsberg in the UK.

If you had San Miguel outside Europe, you most likely had a version brewed in the Philippines or Hong Kong. Either this one, the one termed San Miguel Pale Pilsen, or the one termed San Miguel Premium All-Malt. It is possible that they are all the same beer, but with different names, but at this point we don’t know for sure.
