No, there are several places making San Miguel - it is brewed in Spain and
also I think in Mexico, also for local consumption only in some other
countries, e.g. Indonesia. I dont know if the Spanish one is owned by the
Philippines San Miguel company but I think it is.

Well, after Kasteel, you can move onto Carolus....
I used to live almost next door to a beer "museum" in brussels which sold
about 400 types of beer... dangerous!

Re: European Beer
I travelled extensiveley last year and believe it or not: I wrote down the
details of (and rated)
every drop consumed. The result might be of interest to some of the readers
of this thread ...

I hoped that the comma would have made it less insulting...
I'm sorry, but it's a matter of taste, I can't stand those two beers.

Is that because they moved the brewery, or the border?

Re: European Beer
I'll ask the same question about Portugal. Any recommendations for beer
bars in Lisbon or Porto? It's hard to find good beer in wine countries.
One can drink only so much port and pilsner.
