Smiling Horse in a Beer



Some of you knew what Red Horse beer is, and what does it taste like. Right? But I'm not commenting on what the taste of it is and I'm not making any story to disparage the beer just to destroy its appeal to those who love drinking it.

The San Miguel Brewery Inc. was a subsidiary of San Miguel Corporation.

One of our readers suggested this urban legend. Its about this logo of a bottle with the smiling horse on it than the usual side view picture of a horse in the present bottles of Red Horse. They said, the one with a happy horse taste much stronger and kicky than the other. Unfortunately, I don't drink beer so I don't know what it taste like.



The Story



The reason why there is two kinds of Red Horse beer in the market is because the San Miguel Brewery Inc. changed there logo in 1992. The old one has a smiling horse on the face of the bottle with label on the back printed in red. The new one has a much serious side view face of a horse with labels printed in white.

You can still find a happy horse Red Horse bottle in the market because they are still in use at present. It will take 20 years, starting the changed of logo, before the happy horse vanishes. You can determine the age of the bottle by looking at the bottle’s scuff level. It’s the white band around the neck of the bottle. the thicker it is, the older the bottle.

I was searching in the internet about the taste difference of the two, and I found out that they are similar. Its only their logo that differs, and they made no changes in formulating the same beer.

The Red Horse beer contains 6.9% alcohol volume. The ingredients are still identical - water, malt, hops, any of the following: cereals, sugar or starch.

  1. OF course, the alcohol content - and therefore taste - of Red Horse Beer has changed over the years. In the 70s and 80s, Red Horse Beer was positioned against gin (Ginebra San Miguel), as the beer for maturing beer drinkers about to make the shift to hard liquor. The alcohol content of Red Horse Beer then was about double. Over the years, the kick of the brand was tamed. Today, Red Horse Beer is positioned as the teener's first beer, a vastly different brand proposition.

  6. About the year... it's actually in the year 2000 that changed to the current look, but in 1992, the logo is modified and simplified. Although, looking at the back of the bottles are different, like the older one with the current design has "San Miguel Brewing Group", while the newer ones had "San Miguel Beer Division" and currently, "San Miguel Brewery, Inc.", It is also the same with the "Happy Horse" bottles. Also, "Happy Horse" bottles is still around today as "recycling", a technique in the beverage companies to save money and probably recycled until 2020, Hence, it's being used in 20 years during the change in the year 2000. And there is still have the chance to get the first logo of Red Horse dated from 1982 to 1992, 1993, 1994 or 1995 because i've seen one.

  7. For even better results, add grated ginger to the mix. The combination of lemon and ginger aids digestion and speeds up metabolism. To make this drink, mix one tablespoon of lemon juice with 500ml of water and sipped multiple times for a few hours. The goal is to drink this mixture 7-8 times in the days leading up to a drug test. Next on our list is cranberry juice, which is slightly tart but equally delicious. Dilute your urine with cranberry juice, water, electrolytes, and a B-vitamin complex to really get the bladder momentum going
