Japanese beer company looking to take control of San Miguel Brewery

Danding Cojuangco

Last Friday, Bloomberg reported that Kirin was looking into the possibility of raising its stake in San Miguel Brewery. The Japanese beer giant already owns 48% of the company, with San Miguel Corporation owning 51%.

An increase in stake would almost certainly give Kirin control of San Miguel Brewery’s operations, which include significant inroads into the growing Southeast Asian market that the former covets. However, any deal for the Brewery would certainly come at a premium,...

Beermen hiring Freeman again

SAN Miguel Beer, a team loaded with firepower but lacks a player, who provides energy, is bringing back the energetic Gabe Freeman.

The 6’6” Freeman led the Beermen to the Fiesta Conference crown against sister team Ginebra Gin Kings in a record-drawing finale that went the distance. The returning import is also fresh from steering the Philippine Patriots to the Asean Basketball League championship.

San Miguel Beer coach Siot Tanquingcen believes the young reinforcement is the right guy for his team.

An SMB fan speaks
Editor's Note: This guest post comes for Tiger Gimenez, a self-confessed San Miguel fanatic. I figured we needed a voice from the San Miguel side of things to balance things here at the blog. I had no idea he would go Tony Atayde on San Miguel management. Enjoy!

I am a San Miguel fan who wrote to Fire Quinito after the Alaska trade article, hoping to see a follow-up focusing on San Miguel. I was surprised when Jaemark asked if maybe I could do it instead since, according to him, I was “in a better position to give color to San Miguel’s trades over the years.” I think he also wanted...

Reliable defense props up Beermen in semis
THERE’S nothing like a good old-fashioned hard-nosed work ethic.

Take it from coach Siot Tanquingcen, whose San Miguel Beer team shed off some of its offensive inclinations and went back to the basics to bring down Purefoods 88-76 last Sunday to take a 2-1 lead in their KFC-PBA Philippine Cup semifinals series at the Araneta Coliseum.

"The main thing was the effort we put in and our commitment to defense was a little bit more than before," said Tanquingcen after their big rebound from an 84-103 loss in Game 2 of the best-of-seven duel just two days before.

Dennis Miranda of San Miguel, center, fights for ball possesion against Purefoods' Kerby Raymundo and Raffy Reavis during Game 3 of the PBA Philippine Cup semifinals Sunday.

Who says a powerhouse team like San Miguel can’t play defense?

The Beermen shackled the Purefoods Giants in Game 3 of their KFC-PBA Philippine Cup semifinals, 88-76, to go up, 2-1, in the best-of-seven series.

So daunting was San Miguel on the defensive end Sunday night at the Araneta Coliseum that...

Danny Ildefonso and Danny Seigle

MANILA, Philippines - If Purefoods has its Yaps, San Miguel Beer is bolstered by its Dannys. The opposing pairs are facing off in a PBA Philippine Cup best-of-seven semifinal duel that began last Wednesday with the Beermen drawing first blood, 99-83, at the Araneta Coliseum.
