Sir Nuke, nope, not a squid and I can only imagine what magasisi blvd. has to offer a fine gentleman. I am married to a half-Philippino girl and her dad spent many a day in the islands when stationed there tossing back the San Miguel, enjoying the cockfights, etc. I happened across the strange brew that is San Miguel through a little restaraunt/karaoke place in Monterey, CA. The owner could sense my disappointment when he told me they were out of San Miguel as I had heard of it before and really wanted to try it. He sent his son back over to his house to bring me one back from his "special stash". He said, "this is the good stuff, straight from the Philippines." The guy laughed his ass off when he saw me cringe after the first swig. But I hung in there and downed the whole thing. The remainder of the evening I was quite cloudy and couldn't get the taste out of my mouth for the life of me. I had a huge headache the next day. Later, I tell my father-in-law about this and he starts laughing and tells me he thought they might use formaldehyde as a way to get the alcholhol content in that stuff. It was at that moment I figured out what that obnoxious aftertaste was!
My father-in-law has this hilarious painting of a scrawny cat sipping on a San Miguel through a straw!![]()
Also, I think it is not legal to import that beer into the States, that's why you can't find it anywhere. Not that I would go looking for it again!
