Reviewing The Philippine’s Most Popular Beer: San Miguel | On Tap 

Interesting note about the hints of sweetness. Filipino food mostly lean towards salty and sour.. we like dipping everything in soy sauce and vinegar. So finishing every meal with a sweet tasting beer would taste refreshing. I guess you really can’t assess drinks by themselves - they’re married to the cuisine that they’re crafted for. 😊

Excellent discription of flavors. Interesting that you mention the sweetness in the Philippines. Have lived for awhile and every surface you touch has sugar on it. It is in the air.

good review! those bottles are the international versions. i think they tweak the taste a bit, kinda different from what they sell here in the philiipines

4:15 if I'm not wrong this is the brewery in cebu Sometimes I'd go and chill in that area every afternoon because that's when they start brewing the barley and hops and it's such a wonderful smell it's as if you could get drunk just by taking a whiff

ive had cerveza negra and it tasted really nice with toasted malt notes and slightly bitter burnt caramel, good body but I would still consider it light. the beer is easy drinking because it is not as heavy as a stout like Guinness and pairs well with barbecued dishes or fish. it reminded me of Leffe blonde. it had a close but altogether different taste to a dunkel. nice beer to drink for an in between meal refresher/snack

Thanks for recommending the Hofbrau beerhall in nyc. Great place!

My favorite of these three is Red Horse.

I love Cervesa Negra the most. I remember when I was only about four or five years old, whenever my father would have a drinking session with my uncle and grannies, I would sneak in without them noticing and would have a swig of all of those beers they were sharing . And even then, my taste have always swayed towards the Cervesa Negra 😜

as some one mentioned those are export versions , different from local brew . locals drink beer with ice lol good on a hot humid day

Good quality video! Also we do have another type of cerveza, it's called cerveza blanca (white)

Red horse is my go to beer whenever I've had a hard day at work or I just wanna celebrate something. It's still the beer that I just love thr taste of more than the Pilsen in my opinion. I just love it as a Pinoy myself.

You should try San Miguel Super Dry. I actually prefer Super Dry after graduating from drinking San Miguel Pale Pilsen. Awesome video!

The Philippines was one of the largest sugar exporter during the 1800s so sugarcane use is widespread. It's even used in Don Papa rum brewed in Negros (don't take in in US context). The Filipino palette also loves sweet. Cerveza Negra and Guinness are similar yet different if that makes sense. I love both. They remind me of our national hero Jose Rizal and Josephine Bracken his Irish girlfriend. 😂

Growing up, there were only two kinds of beers in the Philippines: SMB or import. (There were maybe a couple other local brands but… they’re mostly forgotten now.) Then there’s varieties of SMB: regular (PP), strong (RH), dark (CN) or light (SML). When I came to Canada a decade ago, I realized I only really knew beer brands, but not really what made them different from each other. I didn’t know things like hops, ales, etc etc Great reviews btw - they come from a place with a breadth of knowledge and experience. I watched other reviews and they are based on feelings and their limited experiences.. “I don’t like this, it doesn’t taste like what I’m used to!” Why do they think that is? They don’t know because they know little.

Try San Miguel Super Dry. For me, it's the best San Miguel Beer. It's a little bit more expensive than the Pale Pilsen..

most refreshing beer in my opinion.....

Lucky Buddha and TsingTao I would like

San Miguel Superdry, Cerveza Negra and San Miguel All Malt is the best for me

I thought the Cerveza Negra had a slight smell of cooked Saba banana peel in it and you mention banana too.

I always like San Miguel, but it tastes a whole lot different in the U.S. due to added preservatives.

RH is the best try 3bottles

Red Horse Yun Ang Tama WHAHAHAAHA 😂😂😂😂😂😘😘😘😘😇😇😇😇
