Philippines - Breweries

The original San Miguel Brewery was founded as La Fabrica de Cerveza de San Miguel in 1890 by Don Enrique Ma. Barreto under a Spanish Royal Charter that officially permitted the brewing of beer in the Philippines. It became the San Miguel Brewery in 1913 and later it was renamed San Miguel Corporation in 1963. The origins of the Spanish-made San Miguel Beer date back to 1946, when the San Miguel president Andres Soriano, Sr. set up a brewery in Spain named La Segarra, S.A. and gave it a licence to brew San Miguel Beer.

Over the years the brand identity is updated and re-launched with subtle changes, a change of Logo or a new font.
Sometimes this brand update is done by the new owners after a brewery has been sold, other times just to give the brand a fresh new look on the ever growing market.

Below are some notes to help identify some of these changes and an aid to reference the year of the glass.
