I have never heard that and I was in the P.I. numerous times. I did hear that there are no regulations on the stuff they brew to be sold only in country.Ursa Major said:

Every time I have had a cold beer in a tropical area, the beer has tasted extra good. I was in Cuba in Sept and the Crystal tasted excellent especially with my Cohiba cigar while listening to excellent Cuban music at an outside bar in Old Havana, but I am betting it would be a pretty average beer up here. Not saying your San Miguel wasn't excellent beer, but sometimes the environment does enhance flavor.632BEER said:

San MGoo isn't anything great, just like 99% of Island beer. The only thing that makes it taste good is that the weather is usually about a billion degrees with the same for humidity.NativeGriz said:

Well, ok. Can't argue w/ that. So, what domestic mass-produced beer to you recommend, instead? No lite beers, please. Czech beer is great!polsongrizz said:
A little story how I discovered Staropramen beer. It was very late at night when I arrived in Prague and searched for the place I was to stay. I found the place, locked. Wandered the street a bit, dragging my bag behind me. Finally found a good place. Checked in, got settled, then went out to get something to eat.
Came across an underground Czech tavern & knew it served food. Went downstairs. Inside, the place was busy, smoked filled, and noisy. Immediately catching my eye was a topless barmaid, going about her business. I think Eastern European women have the best breasts; after all, Trump married one.
Of course, I gave my order and a beer, Staropramen, as it turned out. No, I was not in sight of the barmaid all the time. The waitress who served me was fully clothed. I insist it was not because of the topless barmaid that I liked Staropromen! No one knows good beer or fine breasts, unless they have been in Eastern Europe!
While in Osaka or Okinawa, there is nothing like shooting Saki and chasing it down with a Sapporo.
Sapporo Breweries Limited is a Japanese brewery founded in 1876. It is the oldest brand of beer in Japan. It was first brewed in Sapporo, Japan in 1876 by brewer Seibei Nakagawa.
Sapporo Draft (Premium in North America) is the #1 selling Asian beer in the US, since 1984.

I'm kind of on a Newcastle Brown Ale kick.
Newcastle Brown Ale is perceived in the UK as a working-man's beer, with a long association with heavy industry, the traditional economic staple of the North East of England. In export markets, it is seen as a trendy, premium import and is predominantly drunk by the young. It was one of the first beers to be distributed in a clear glass bottle and it is most readily associated with this form of dispense in the UK.

As much as I'd like to focus on D2's discussion of "fine breasts," there is more important subject matter to address.
The Germans have heavily influenced Mexican beer making:
"The industry truly began to develop in the latter half of the 19th century, due to an influx of German immigrants to Mexico and the short-lived Second Mexican Empire headed by emperor Maximilian I of Mexico of the House of Habsburg, an Austro-Germanic ruling family. The emperor had his own brewer, who produced Vienna-style dark beers. This influence can be seen in two popular brands of Negra Modelo and Dos Equis Amber."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_in_Mexico
Same with San Miguel and the Philippines:
"Under a royal grant from Spain, Don Enrique María Barretto de Ycaza y Esteban opened La Fabrica de Cerveza de San Miguel, Southeast Asia's first brewery, on September 29, 1890 at 6 Calzada de Malacañan in Manila, near the Malacañan Palace, the then-residence of the Governor-General of the Philippines. The trade-name San Miguel, originates from the local brewery of San Miguel, Barcelona, Spain. He named the company after the section of Manila in which he lived and worked. Besides the flagship brew, it also produced several brews that almost all disappeared, including Double Bock, Cerveza Negra, Foreign Stout, Gold Ribbon, Extra Stout, Imported Pilsner Type, and Super Bock.
Barretto was soon joined by Pedro Pablo Roxas, who brought with him a German brewmaster, Ludwig Kiene, as technical director. San Miguel's brew won its first major award at 1895's Philippines Regional Exposition. After six years of operation, the fledgling brewery was outselling imported brands five to one. At the outbreak of World War I, San Miguel was exporting its beer to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Guam. The company was incorporated in 1913."
They're damn good Pilsners (lagers).
