The business incorporated as the San Miguel Brewery, Inc. in 1913. It was renamed San Miguel Corporation (SMC) in 1963, having grown into one of the Philippines' largest business conglomerates with core interests in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, food, and packaging. The breweries operated as the beer division of San Miguel Corporation until 2007.

The present San Miguel Brewery, Inc., is a subsidiary of the San Miguel Corporation, and was incorporated on July 26, 2007; the domestic beer business was spun off into San Miguel Brewery, Inc. on October 1, 2007.
