Me and San Miguel

Ah yes, I remember the day of drinking my first San Miguel. It was the beer of choice of the navy in my sailor days. Back in 1956 I was introduced to San Miguel in Puerto Rico while stationed at Roosevelt Roads and immediately I enjoyed the taste as much as any other blue blooded bell bottom sailor or sea going marine.  It was available wherever the navy fleet went, Puerto Rico, Hong Kong, Guam and of course the Philippines. Even to this very day I remember that first beer that had been chilled and the sweet taste to my thirsty throat. I hit the jackpot!
