History

[edit]

San Miguel Beer (San Miguel Pale Pilsen) was first produced in 1890 by La Fabrica de Cerveza de San Miguel (San Miguel Brewery, now known as San Miguel Corporation) in Manila, Philippines. The brewery received the Royal Grant from the King of Spain to brew beer in the Philippines, which was then a Spanish colony.

In 1914, San Miguel Brewery began exporting San Miguel Beer to Hong Kong. The San Miguel brand name is known in Chinese as 生力 and the San Miguel Beer product name is known as 生力啤酒.

In 1948, San Miguel acquired Hong Kong Brewers and Distillers Ltd., which was established by Jehangir Hormusjee Ruttonjee in Sham Tseng in 1930, and renamed The Hong Kong Breweries Ltd.. In 1963, the company name was changed to San Miguel Brewery Ltd.[2] and was listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange SEHK236.

On March 25, 1994, the company adopted its present name, San Miguel Brewery Hong Kong Ltd. (SMBHK). In 1996, the Sham Tseng facility was closed down and its new brewery in Yuen Long was inaugurated.
