Red Horse Beer

Red Horse Beer is a deeply iconic brand in the Philippines, recognized specifically for its high alcohol content and distinctive 'extra strong' lager profile. It was first introduced in 1982 by the San Miguel Brewery, aiming to provide a more potent alternative to standard lagers. The brand has since become a cultural staple in its home country, often associated with social gatherings and deep-seated local traditions.

The beer's production is centered in the Philippines, where San Miguel Brewery operates multiple facilities. However, due to its international popularity, it is also brewed in various locations globally under license or via international subsidiaries of the San Miguel corporation. Ownership remains firmly with San Miguel Brewery Inc., which is a joint venture between the Philippine conglomerate San Miguel Corporation and the Japanese brewing giant Kirin Holdings Company, Limited. This partnership ensures the brand maintains its traditional recipe while benefiting from global distribution networks.
