Yeah San Miguel did originate in PI. Apparently the brewery in Spain opened in 1997 but now is not directly affiliated with the one in PI. Don, This has really confused me! I first went to Spain in 1969 and San Miguel seemed to the beer of choice then. On the back it said something like "Fabricado en Madrid". Subsequent visits proved the same, judging by the bottles sitting on the tables and the bar signs. So I had the impression it was Spanish, but obviously you are right since I looked at their Website that you posted and it's the same stuff. Maybe it's just good marketing, but folk here in the UK associate San Miguel with Spain. Here is the text on the back of a bottle I'm drinking just now... "From Seville to Barcelona, the uniquely refreshing taste of San Miguel is at the heart of a great night out. Now, Spain's most loved export is enjoyed by millions the world over.....Salud!" Further down, in the small print it says... "Brewed in the UK by Scottish & Newcastle, 2-4 Broadway Park, Edinburgh." [;)][:D] Well, I suppose now that Condes aren't made by Conde nor Ramirez by Ramirez nor anything by anyone in particular (esp in the consumer goods market!), then that would be just about normal IMO...[:D] cheers, Ron
