TheSan Miguel Beermen (colloquially known asSMB) are a Philippine professionalbasketball team owned bySan Miguel Corporation. The team competes in thePhilippine Basketball Association (PBA) and are the only active founding member, having been in the league since 1975.

The team won their first two championships at the1979 Open Conference and the1982 Invitational, but had their first run of domination from 1987 to 1994 with nine titles under head coachNorman Black with the likes ofRamon Fernandez andAto Agustin. That run also included the first-everGrand Slam in league history, with it occurring in the1989 season. This is then followed by another six titles from 1999 to 2001 withJong Uichico at the helm withDanny Ildefonso,Danny Seigle, andOlsen Racela leading the roster.

SMB's winning prowess slowed down as the 21st century started. Uichico left in 2006 and saw the team rotate between multiple head coaches to lead the team. They only won three titles between 2002 and 2014. In 2014, the team signedLeo Austria as head coach, and together with a roster led byJune Mar Fajardo,Arwind Santos, andAlex Cabagnot, the team returned to its dominant form by winning 12 titles since 2015. During that run, the team won five straightPhilippine Cups from 2015 to 2019, with the first three resulting in the team keeping permanent possession of theJun Bernardino Trophy, becoming the second team to do so after the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters (nowTNT Tropang 5G) in 2013. That same Philippine Cup streak saw the Beermen become the first professional basketball team in historyto overcome a 3–0 series deficit to win abest-of-seven playoff series which they did during the2015–16 Philippine CupFinals.^[1]

The Beermen are the most successful team in the PBA with 31 championships and over 1,400 all-time wins, both more than any other team in the league. They are also one of three teams under the SMC umbrella along withBarangay Ginebra San Miguel and theMagnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots.

Before the PBA, San Miguel had a basketball team in theManila Industrial and Commercial Athletic Association (MICAA). The MICAA was a multi-sport league similar to collegiate leagues such as theUAAP and theNCAA, but basketball became the popular sport.

The San Miguel Braves (or the Greenshirts) never won a MICAA title but they did figure in the championship three times. In the 1970s, San Miguel won two National Seniors titles in 1973 and 1976. The 1973 champion team were composed ofManny Paner,David Regullano,Estoy Estrada,Yoyong Martirez and a gangling 6'4" rookie slotman out ofUniversity of San Carlos by the name ofRamon Fernandez, who would later that year joined a new MICAA team Toyota Comets.

San Miguel was one of the nine companies which formed the first professional basketball league outside of the United States known as thePhilippine Basketball Association in 1975.

With the formation of the PBA, San Miguel retained its MICAA ballclub but their PBA team will carry the nameRoyal Tru Orange, then asoft drink brand owned by San Miguel. The Orangemen placed fourth in all three conferences of the PBA's first season. The team was bannered by centerManny Paner, forwardEstoy Estrada and point guardYoyong Martirez. Both Paner and Estrada made it to the Mythical Team in the league's inaugural season.

Royal had its first best finish of third place in the 1976 second conference as they paraded the high-scoring Carl Bird as one of their imports. Bird was the league's first 70-point man as he scored 73 points in RTO's 165–129 win over N-Rich on October 12, 1976, only to be broken two weeks after by 7-Up's Harry Rogers.^[2]

The Orangemen would suffer their worst seasons in the next two years with Manny Paner moving out upon becoming the first PBA player to be offered a lucrative contract by Presto Ice Cream and he signed with the team in the 1977 PBA season. Estoy Estrada left to join the Toyota Tamaraws in the following year in 1978. OlympianEdgardo Ocampo replaced coachIgnacio Ramos at the RTO bench at the start of the season.

In 1979, Royal Tru-Orange finally made it to the top during the Open Conference. The team had two imports of unlimited height playing together – 6'9 Otto Moore and 6'7 Larry Pounds. They faced Toyota in the second conference finals and won the best of five title series in four games, becoming the second team after U/Tex Wranglers to break the Crispa-Toyota stranglehold as far as winning championships were concerned. Moore and Pounds were backstopped by a crew made up of Visayan cagers like Yoyong Martirez, Marlowe Jacutin and Jess Migalbin, along with Tony Torrente, Rudy Lalota and Leonardo Paguntalan.

When coachTommy Manotoc, who won two previous PBA titles with U/Tex, replaced Ed Ocampo as the team's head coach beginning the 1981 season, the ball club, which finally used the old brand San Miguel Beer in the 1980 All-Filipino third conference, were back in the final four since their title-conquest in 1979. The Beermen had former U/Tex imports James Robinson and Aaron James and placed fourth in the 1981 PBA Open.

The following year in 1982, San Miguel had one of their best seasons with two finals trips. The Beermen acquired three players from the defunct CDCP quintet during the pre-season; Renato Lobo, Anthony Dasalla and the returning Manny Paner. The team also signed former Tefilin importNorman Black as their import for the season. San Miguel almost won the first conference crown as they led 3–2 in the best of seven title series against Toyota Super Corollas but lost in seven games. The Beermen bounce back a month later by winning the Asian Invitational championship, defeating Crispa Redmanizers, two games to one, in the best of three series. That team remains as the only squad the multi-titled Crispa never beat in a PBA finale. One of SMB's rookies, Marte Saldana, won Rookie of the year honors at the end of the season.

Manotoc moved to Crispa in 1983 and replacing him in the Beermen bench is former national coachNat Canson.

The team was renamed asGold Eagle Beermen for the1984 season. The SMC ballclub had found a corporate rival with the entry of Asia Brewery'sBeer Hausen Brewmasters, which had taken over the disbanded Toyota franchise. Despite Gold Eagle acquiring the services of Toyota's top forwardAbe King and signing two rookies;Joey Loyzaga and Dante Gonzalgo, the team placed second to last at the bottom of the cumulative team standings.

In1985, the franchise carried another name asMagnolia Ice Cream (Magnolia was then a division of San Miguel Corporation), a name SMC first used with their team in thePhilippine Amateur Basketball League (PABL). Former import Norman Black returned to the squad and this time, he was not only their import but as the team's playing coach. The Ice Cream Makers made it to the Open Conference finals against powerhouse Great Taste Coffee Makers and lost in six games. In the Reinforced Conference, the team became known asMagnolia Quench Plus. The Thirst Quenchers were booted out of the semifinals by Great Taste in a playoff game.

The franchise filed for a leave of absence from the league after the 1985 season. In the aftermath of thePeople Power Revolution, San Miguel Corporation chairmanDanding Cojuangco fled the country.

At the start of the1986 season, some Magnolia players were absorbed by different teams, newcomerAlaska Milkmen acquired three from Magnolia and signed Norman Black to a one-year contract. After a two-conference leave, the SMC franchise returned in the third conference and were known asMagnolia Cheese. The new lineup consisted of eight players from the formerNCC team;Hector Calma,Samboy Lim,Yves Dignadice,Franz Pumaren,Elmer Reyes,Alfie Almario,Pido Jarencio andTonichi Yturri. OnlyManny Paner was the only holdover from the previous Magnolia team. They also signed two players straight from the amateur ranks;Alvin Teng and Jeffrey Graves.

Following the signings ofNorman Black (left) as a player-coach in 1997 and the acquisition ofRamon Fernandez (right) a year later, the Beermen became dominant during the late 1980s and early 1990s with nine championships during that span.

In1987, league pioneerAbet Guidaben was acquired by Magnolia, along with Ricky Cui from the disbandedManila Beer. Playing-coach Norman Black was back in the helm for the Ice Cream Makers and led the team to third-place finishes in the first and second conferences.

The team reverted to its old nameSan Miguel Beer in the 1987 Reinforced Conference. They wore green and white color instead of traditional red and white jerseys they used in the early 1980s. They got a goldmine of an import inBobby Parks from Memphis State University. Parks led the Beermen to its third PBA title, defeating Hills Bros. Coffee Kings (formerly Alaska) in five games. Center Abet Guidaben won his secondMost Valuable Player award

San Miguel acquiredRicardo Brown from Great Taste through an offer sheet beginning the1988 PBA season and they continued their winning ways by capturing the Open Conference crown, defeating newcomer Purefoods Hotdogs, who were aiming for a cinderella finish, in a classic, seven-game series. After placing fourth in the All-Filipino Conference, the Beermen tradedAbet Guidaben toPurefoods forRamon Fernandez. The trade was executed in the height of a disagreement between Fernandez and the Purefoods management.

The Beermen withNorman Black andMichael Phelps as their imports, won another championship and retains the Reinforced Conference title by defeating the Bobby Parks led-Shell Rimula-X in five games. Ramon Fernandez won his fourthMost Valuable Player Award at the end of the season.

1989 would be year the San Miguel Beermen would become one of the greatest teams in PBA history. The Beermen added two rookies in their lineup whom the team drafted during the pre-season, shooting-guard Renato Agustin and forward Bobby Jose. Picked by experts as heavy favorites in the first conference of the season, the team have lived up to the billing, sweeping the 10-game eliminations and they easily won the Open Conference crown with a repeat 4–1 series victory over Formula Shell that is built around the troika of best import awardee Bobby Parks, sophomore guard Ronnie Magsanoc and rookie center and top draft pick Benjie Paras.

The All-Filipino Conference finals between San Miguel and Purefoods Hotdogs showcase perhaps the best local talents battling it out for All-Filipino supremacy. The Beermen will have former Purefoods playing coach Ramon Fernandez on their side this time going up against his former teammates Alvin Patrimonio, Jojo Lastimosa and Jerry Codinera. Another interesting match up is the duel of coaches Norman Black and the dean, Purefoods coach Baby Dalupan. San Miguel won in six games after being stunned in Game One of the title series. The Beermen clinch their first All-Filipino title on September 3, 1989, outscoring the Hotdogs in the final quarter, 43–32, in a 128–109 victory. The title-clinching win came three days after they lost Game five to the Hotdogs in a hard-fought overtime game.

Only one conference was left to achieve the grandslam and San Miguel brought in Keith Smart as their import for the Third Conference. After five games in the eliminations, Smart was replaced by Ennis Whatley. The Beermen defeated sister team Añejo Rum 65 that has a high-scoring import in Carlos Briggs, four games to one, in the Reinforced Conference finals as they completed a three-conference sweep, becoming the third team to capture the PBA grandslam.

Entering the new decade, the San Miguel Beermen were dethroned and failed to defend all their titles in the 1990 PBA season. During the third conference when four of their starters along with coach Norman Black missed the first few games due to their commitment in the all-pro national team. The team never recovered upon their return and San Miguel was eliminated for the first time in the semifinals since rejoining the league in 1986.

It wasn't until 1992 when the Beermen would win another championship, defeating Purefoods TJ Hotdogs in another classic seven-game series for the All-Filipino crown. In the first conference that year, the Beermen made a return trip to the finals but were beaten by Shell Rimula X in five games.

The 1993 season turned out to be another fruitful year for San Miguel. The 'triggerman'Allan Caidic from the disbanded Presto franchise was happy to rejoin some of his former NCC teammates at San Miguel and they were labeled anew as the team to beat in the All-Filipino Conference (AFC became the first conference of the season), what with the deadly trio of Caidic, Samboy Lim and 1992 season MVP Ato Agustin. The Beermen went on to play their old rival Purefoods, renamed Coney Island Ice Cream Stars, for the All-Filipino title. Alvin Patrimonio, playing at his peak and aching to get back at their two-time All-Filipino tormentors, led the Stars to victory and the Beermen were outclassed in six games.

San Miguel didn't go home empty-handed in 1993 as they capture the third conference crown, known as Governors Cup, at the expense of the Tony Harris-led Swift Mighty Meaties. The Beermen became the first back-to-back champions in the 1990s by regaining the All-Filipino title the following year in 1994, reversing the outcome against defending champion Coney Island, winning in six games. The title-victory earned San Miguel the right to represent the country in the basketball competition in the 1994 Asian Games in Hiroshima, Japan. Injuries among the players hounded the team for the rest of the season.

In1995, San Miguel was struggling to maintain its ranks as among the best teams in the league withSunkist andAlaska dominating at the time. All superstarsAllan Caidic,Samboy Lim,Ato Agustin were injured and to cover the scoring gap Alvin Teng was traded to Seven Up for Gido Babilonia and Victor Pablo after All Filipino Conference. Acquired Freddie Abuda from Purefoods, drafted Lou Regidor, Mike Mustre, Matt Makalintal, Gilbert Castillo and Bryant Punzalan. Though the beermen didn't prosper on first two conferences but in Governors' Conference with Kenny Travis back as import San Miguel broke Sunkist's dream of a grandslam by entering the finals of the Governors' Cup, only to lose to Alaska in a seven-game showdown.

San Miguel's struggles would continue in1996, the team finished third in the All-Filipino while nabbing fourth in the season-ending Governors' Cup. Early in the year, San Miguel traded Ato Agustin to Sunkist for known-scorer Nelson Asaytono and traded Victor Pablo to Shell for Paul "Mr. Excitement" Alvarez. The third conference saw the arrival ofLamont Strothers to the PBA.

After the 1996 season,Norman Black left the team and became the head coach ofMobiline. Replacing him was former NCC coachRon Jacobs. Before the1997 season began, controversy surrounded the hiring of Ron Jacobs, due to objections by the Basketball Coaches Association of the Philippines (BCAP). The BCAP believed that it endangered the chance of local coaches to enter the PBA. But, Jacobs remained coach of San Miguel for the league's 23rd season.^[3]

With San Miguel in a sort of a rebuilding mode, Jacobs was able to mold young players likeOlsen Racela who was acquired from Purefoods, Mike Mustre as well as veterans Asaytono, "Mr. Excitement" Bong Alvarez, Dignadice and Art dela Cruz into a strong team each conference. San Miguel won third place in all three conferences of the '97 campaign. The Beermen failed to enter the finals in the Commissioner's and Governors' Cups, respectively, losing in two do-or-die games againstGordon's Gin andPurefoods. Jeff Ward was the import during the second conference while Larry Robinson played for SMB in the third conference.

Asaytono was a candidate to win theMost Valuable Player Award but lost to Purefoods'Alvin Patrimonio.

SMB acquiredDanny Ildefonso (left) in 1998 whileJong Uichico was appointed head coach in the following off-season. The two would become key figures in the team's return to its winning prowess at the turn of the millennium.

For the1998 season, San Miguel draftedNoy Castillo as the second overall pick in the draft. But, Castillo was quickly shipped toShell in exchange forNational University standoutDanny Ildefonso.

The Beermen made a strong showing in the All-Filipino Cup but lost toAlaska in the Finals in seven games. In the Commissioner's Cup, San Miguel brought back Strothers to replace Jeff Ward during the tournament. SMB made its return to the finals but was defeated by the Milkmen in the rematch of the All-Filipino Cup, this time in six games.

After the conference, Racela was loaned to thePBA Centennial team. As incentive, all PBA teams were allowed to hire two imports in the Governors' Cup. Strothers and Robinson teamed up for San Miguel, but with their height disadvantage against other teams, the Beermen failed to either win the special Centennial Cup or the season-ending Governors' Cup.

Ron Jacobs resigned after two seasons with the Beermen. His assistant coach and former NCC protégéJong Uichico took over as head coach.

New coach Jong Uichico began his first season with San Miguel in1999. As part of the PBA's new rule to allow each team one direct-hireFilipino-foreigner, San Miguel acquired the services ofDanny Seigle, younger brother of thenMobiline centerAndy Seigle, to bolster the team along with formerPop Cola guardBoybits Victoria.

However, San Miguel struggled in the All-Filipino Cup and was eliminated in the quarterfinals byFormula Shell. One of their finest moments was during a match against Mobiline and star centerAsi Taulava. San Miguel's 67–66 squeaker on Asaytono's two clutch free-throws handed the Phone Pals its first defeat after winning their first seven games.

In the Commissioner's Cup, San Miguel tapped formerMobiline importTerquin Mott. Mott, a known temperamental player during his first stint in the league, molded well with his local teammates as San Miguel was able to make a strong showing in the elimination round. San Miguel also parted way with Asaytono, shipping him toPop Cola forNic Belasco andDwight Lago. The Beermen upset the defending championAlaska Milkmen in the semis to enter the Finals against All-Filipino winner Formula Shell withBenjie Paras and import John Best. San Miguel won the first two games of the series before Shell tied the series at 2–2. But the Beermen won the last two games to win their 12th PBA crown and their first in five years.

In the Governors' Cup, San Miguel brought back Strothers as the Beermen cruised into the Finals of the said tournament against Alaska. The Milkmen even led the series at 2–1 but San Miguel was able to win the last three games to win their second straight championship in six games.

Seigle was named as the Rookie of the Year at season's end and also threatened to beat Paras for the MVP plum, but the "Tower of Power" won the 1999 MVP award.

San Miguel failed to win the2000 All-Filipino Cup by finishing fourth in the tournament. The Beermen, however, defended the Commissioner's Cup trophy, with NBA veteranStephen Howard on the lineup, defeatingSta. Lucia. In the Governors' Cup, with Strothers back, they defeated Purefoods in five games for their 15th PBA title.Danny Ildefonso won his firstMost Valuable Player Award at the end of the season.

In2001, they were favorites to win the All-Filipino Cup and San Miguel did so to enter the finals against sister team Barangay Ginebra and prized rookieMark Caguioa. After the series was tied at 2–2, SMB survived in overtime to win Game Five and blew out the Kings in Game Six to capture their first All-Filipino title in seven years.

San Miguel was now favored to win the grand slam, but the youngBatang Red Bull Thunder upset SMB in the finals of the Commissioner's Cup in six games while theSta. Lucia Realtors, behind former SMB mentorNorman Black defeated his former club 4–2 in the season-ending Governors' Cup.

Ildefonso, meanwhile won his second consecutiveMVP in 2001. Some observers though believed that it wasDanny Seigle who deserved to win the award.

Ildefonso, Racela, newly acquiredDondon Hontiveros, Seigle and coach Jong Uichico concentrated their time with the RP National team in the2002 season. Meanwhile, San Miguel was left with onlyDorian Peña and Boybits Victoria on the team. San Miguel fielded in Strothers and later formerNBA veteran Mario Bennett for the Governors' Cup. After the Beermen finished eighth in the elimination round, SMB upset theTalk 'N Text Phone Pals in the quarterfinals but was eliminated by Alaska in the semi-finals and finished fourth in the tournament. Strothers announced his retirement after the tournament.

In the Commissioner's Cup, San Miguel took Shea Seals and Art Long as import. But the temperamental Long got into a dirty scuffle withRed Bull import Antonio Lang during a game despite San Miguel finishing fourth after the elimination phase. Terquin Mott replaced Long before the end of the eliminations. After eliminatingCoca-Cola in the quarters, Red Bull eliminated them in the semis before finishing third.

In the All-Filipino, San Miguel was decimated by Danny Seigle's injury with the national team. Racela, Ildefonso and Hontiveros returned for San Miguel but they were eliminated byCoca-Cola in the semis to finished third for the second-straight conference.

San Miguel returned in the2003 on a bright note. After the elimination round of the All-Filipino, they finished first in Group A to qualify for the quarterfinals phase of the tournament. But the Beermen failed to enter the semis after finishing 1–2 in the single-round robin format. Their great finish in the All-Filipino helped the Beermen qualify for the Invitational tournament, but San Miguel failed to advance to the semis.

In the first Reinforced Conference in more than a decade, San Miguel fielded in several lemon imports before settling on former Sta. Lucia import Kwan Johnson. After a 0–5 start, San Miguel went 10–3 the rest of the way to enter the Finals, but lost in seven games to theCoca-Cola Tigers.

San Miguel was once again favorites to win championships in the2004–05 season. Art Long made his return as import for San Miguel in the2004 Fiesta Conference, a transition tournament. Long and the Beermen powered its way to a 9–0 start before finishing the tournament in first place after the eliminations. But once again, San Miguel failed to enter the semis after a 1–2 record in the quarterfinals.

In the 2004–2005 Philippine Cup (formerly the All-Filipino Cup), the Beermen finished the classification phase with an even 9–9 record. In the quarterfinals, San Miguel swept theSta. Lucia Realtors in a three-game series. Then, the Beermen also sweptAlaska in the quarterfinals. In the semis against sister rivalBarangay Ginebra, the Beermen took a 2–1 series in the best-of-five affair but the Kings won the next two games to win the series, that capped withRodney Santos' game-winner in the deciding game. The Beermen then beat Shell to cop third-place in the tournament.

Chris Burgess was San Miguel's import for the 2005 Fiesta Conference. San Miguel finished the classification phase in second place to gain an outright semi-finals berth. Midway to the semis, Burgess was replaced by Ace Custis and became an effective replacement for San Miguel. The Beermen eliminated Red Bull in the semi-finals to enter the Finals against theTalk 'N Text Phone Pals. The Beermen defeated the Phone Pals 4–1 to give the team its 17th PBA title in team history and ended its four-year title drought; it was also the first time in their last six championships that they've won a title with Danny Seigle as a non-factor in the playoffs. He was injured for almost the entire semi-finals and played only in Game 5 of the Finals. It was Jong Uichico's sixth PBA crown as coach.

After their performance a year ago, San Miguel was heavily favored in the2005–06Fiesta Conference to defend their crown. They added import Rico Hill to bolster the lineup along with former Shell Turbo ChargerChris Calaguio.

But SMB's high expectations became a disappointment. The Beermen started off with a 0–4 record before winning a game against theAir21 Express inAklan. Hill was replaced by Kwan Johnson but the Beermen lost four more games to fall to 1–8. But the Beermen won the next five games; Johnson was suffering an injury and was temporarily replaced by Kevin Freeman. The Beermen finished with a 6–10 card and eighth place in the nine-team classification phase.

Johnson returned in time for San Miguel against ten-sister team Coca-Cola in thesurvivor round. The Beermen had a twice to beat edge, but the Tigers won the first encounter on January 6. A day later, Ildefonso's game-winner propelled the Beermen to the next round. In the Wildcard phase against the Express, they ended up losing in three games.

Before the start of the2006 PBA Philippine Cup, San Miguel traded its veteran forwardNic Belasco to the Alaska Aces for guardBrandon Cablay. In a separate move, the Beermen acquiredWesley Gonzales from the Air21 Express and shipped Eugene Tejada to sister team Purefoods. The Express was supposed to sendHomer Se to Purefoods but failed to pass his physical test, and was returned to the Air21 squad. The Cablay trade was seen as a preparation for the possible retirement of point guard Olsen Racela.

After a 1–2 start in the tournament, the Beermen won the next eight games before finishing with an 11–5 record. Their second place tally sent the Beermen to an outright semifinals berth, a huge improvement from their disappointing run in the Fiesta Conference. The Beermen's surge also saw Danny Seigle's numerous scoring outburst, norming 20 points in almost all of the games he played during the conference.

However, in thesemifinals, they were upset by theRed Bull Barako in seven games. San Miguel won Games 2, 4 and the sixth game to level the matchup to a seventh game. However, in Game 7, the Beermen lost on a last second shot byJunthy Valenzuela, eliminating them from the tournament. In a one-game matchup for third place, San Miguel lost to Alaska 102–95 to finish fourth in the 2006 Philippine Cup.

In the offseason, theSan Miguel Corporation moved national team head coachChot Reyes to the Beermen as its head coach while sendingJong Uichico to coach theBarangay Ginebra Kings. In the 2006 PBA Rookie Draft, the Beermen selectedLA Tenorio (fourth overall pick) andGabby Espinas (fifth overall pick) in one of the rare incidents in which San Miguel drafted players from the rookie draft.

After a 0–3 start in the tournament plus the injuries of Seigle and Ildefonso, the Beermen receivedRommel Adducul andLordy Tugade from Ginebra and Red Bull, respectively, in a three-team trade. This led to San Miguel winning 13 of the next 15 games to finished with a 13–5 record and an outright semifinals berth.

In the semis, the Beermen defeated Red Bull in seven games that was highlighted by the physical encounters of both squad in the series which also involved Red Bull's head manYeng Guiao. In the Finals, after leading the series 2–0 the Beermen were beaten by theBarangay Ginebra Kings in six games.

In the recent 2007 Fiesta Conference, Chot Reyes took a leave to form and coach the national basketball team for the FIBA Asia Championships. For a few games, Biboy Ravanes was hired as the team's interim coach but soon San Miguel faltered to a slow start.

Soon, former Ginebra head coach and assistant coachSiot Tanquingcen was moved to the Beermen to be its interim tactician. However, fortunes didn't change as they suffered to a horrible 0–6 start and later 2–8 after fielding imports Vidal Messiah and Paul McMillan.

But then, San Miguel soon won eight games with the arrival of the team's third import, former Alaska Ace Galen Young. SMB wound up with a 10–8 win–loss card to end the elimination round, only to lose to Alaska in the eliminations, and to Air21 in a knockout match for the second outright quarterfinals berth.

At this time, the Beermen shipped Rommel Adducul to Red Bull for prized centerEnrico Villanueva in a controversial trade which also involved sister team Purefoods, which snagged Adducul after trading reserveDon Camaso.

SMB was relegated to the wild-card playoffs but beat Sta. Lucia in the first knockout game of the phase and then pulled off the first of what was dubbed as the "Beeracle Run" over Coca-Cola in which they came back from a four-point deficit with 12 seconds to go to advance against Ginebra in the quarters.

There, the Beermen exacted revenge on the Barangay Ginebra Kings by beating them in three full games. The Beermen entered the Fiesta Conference semifinals only to lose to Alaska in six hard fought games and placed fourth in a loss to Red Bull for the consolation third-place trophy.

After 20 years of carrying the San Miguel name, the San Miguel Corporation radically changed the team name toMagnolia Beverage Masters starting the2007–08 PBA season.

Prior to the change, they named Tanquingcen as coach while they acquiredLarry Fonacier from Red Bull. In the2007 PBA draft,Samigue Eman andJonas Villanueva were taken in the first round.

Former first over-all pickMike Cortez andKen Bono were dealt by Alaska for Beverage MastersLA Tenorio andLarry Fonacier in a blockbuster trade.

In what could be one of the biggest single-day trade in PBA history, Magnolia acquiredMarc Pingris from Purefoods in exchange for a future draft pick.^[4][5]

In 2008, the team again reverted to its old name, theSan Miguel Beermen.

In the2008 PBA draft, the team used its 3rd pick in the 1st round to select 5-foot-11 point guardJayson Castro, then traded Jayson Castro to Talk 'N Text for the 6-foot-7 guard/forwardJay Washington. They also drafted 5-foot-11 point guardBonbon Custodio using their 8th pick in the 1st round. They have also acquired 6-foot-9 centerMick Pennisi from Red Bull in exchange for their 2010 1st round draft pick.

In thePhilippine Cup the team managed to have the 6th seed and they managed to beat the Crowd favoriteBarangay Ginebra Kings but eventually lost to semifinals to theTalk 'N Text Tropang Texters.

In their first game in the2009 Fiesta Conference they played without an import but managed to beat theAlaska Aces, and with the Acquisition ofAlbany PatroonsGabe Freeman as their import they managed to win 8 consecutive games and had the best league record. And they gained an outright semis spot beatingBurger King in 6 games as they march to thefinals to claim their 18th title by beating the Barangay Ginebra Kings in 7 crucial games.

Arwind Santos (left) andAlex Cabagnot (right) were acquired by SMB in 2009 and 2010, respectively, becoming key players for the team throughout the 2010s.

If the San Miguel Beermen was a powerhouse team last season, the team got more formidable and fierce with their new acquisition of players for the upcoming season. They acquiredArwind Santos from the Burger King in exchange forMarc Pingris,Ken Bono and a future draft pick. They drafted JRU stalwartJames Sena in the annual draft. And lately, they received FEU standoutDennis Miranda from the Sta. Lucia Realtors in replace for a future draft pick.

The Beermen clinch the 1st outright semis slot but they lost to their sister team thePurefoods Tender Juicy Giants in 6 games (4–2). They top the Kings for the Battle for 3rd place.

In preparation for the coming Fiesta Conference, the Beermen took a shake on their roster. They tradedMike Cortez toAir21 Express in exchange forAlex Cabagnot. Then tradedBonbon Custodio toSta. Lucia Realtors forJoseph Yeo.

The Beermen lost toTalk 'N Text Tropang Texters in game 6 of the PBA Philippine Cup on February 4, 2011. This is the first finals stint of coachAto Agustin.

On March 2, 2011, the San Miguel Beermen has finally closed a deal with theAir21 Express with the approval of CommissionerChito Salud. On this trade, the Beermen shiftedPaul Artadi,Danny Seigle, Cebuano Hot ShotDondon Hontiveros andDorian Pena to the Express in exchange for three draft rookie draft picksNonoy Baclao,Rabeh Al-Hussaini andRey Guevarra. This trade is the revised proposed trade of the Beermen which initially involvedJoseph Yeo,Danny Seigle andMick Pennisi in exchange for the said top rookie picks. This has not been approved by Commissioner Chito Salud until this revised trade came in.

After the trade, they were eliminated and finish 9th place with 2 wins and 7 losses, the worst in franchise history.

During the Petron era, SMB addedChris Ross (left),Marcio Lassiter (right), and June Mar Fajardo to complete the "Death Five" alongside Santos and Cabagnot.

In March 2011, San Miguel Corporation (SMC) announced that the franchise shall be playing under the namePetron Blaze Boosters, beginning the2011 PBA Governors' Cup.^[6] SMC had acquired majority control ofPetron Corporation in December 2010.^[7]

After a bad record last conference, they had reached the PBA Finals against theTalk 'N Text Tropang Texters. Even though they had several injured players, they managed to defeat TNT, who were aiming for a rareGrand Slam, in seven games,^[8] withArwind Santos being named as the Finals MVP in his honors.^[9]

The Petron Blaze Boosters made some changes in their line-up for the2011 PBA draft; the Boosters acquired #3 pickChris Lutz together withDondon Hontiveros andCarlo Sharma from theBarako Bull Energy.^[10] In exchange,Barako Bull Energy received the services of #8 pickAllein Maliksi,Sunday Salvacion,Mick Pennisi and future draft picks.

Having the first overall pick of the2012 PBA draft,^[11] they pickedJune Mar Fajardo from theUniversity of Cebu.^[12][13][14] Fajardo has played with theSan Miguel Beermen in theASEAN Basketball League prior to him being drafted.^[15][16]

In 2013,Ronald Tubid was involved in a 5-team, 10-player trade that sent him to Petron Blaze Boosters. The Boosters acquired Barako Bull Tubid while giving awayJojo Duncil and Fil-Am rookieAlex Mallari and Petron's 2014 first round pick.^[17] Before the start of the Governors' Cup, Petron tradedJay Washington to Globalport in exchange forJason Deutchman and 2014 two 2nd round picks, andDorian Pena plus 2013 2nd round pick to Barako Bull forDoug Kramer.^[18]

In September 2013, Petron andAir21 Express completed a deal that sentJoseph Yeo to the Express forMark Isip.^{[19][20][21][22]}

Petron acquiredChris Ross fromGlobalPort Batang Pier in exchange forDenok Miranda.^[23][24] The trade was approved by Comm. Salud on October 30, 2013.^[25][26]

Petron tradedMark Isip together withMagi Sison for 5th overall pick of Barako. Petron traded its 5th pick (originally from Barako) to Globalport forYousef Taha.

On January 13, 2014, SMC PresidentRamon S. Ang announced that the Petron Blaze Boosters will revert its name back to San Miguel Beermen starting the2014 PBA Commissioner's Cup, in time for the 25th anniversary of the team's 1989 PBA Grand Slam season.^[27][28][29] In line with the name change, they also made personnel movements. They elevated longtime assistant coachBiboy Ravanes as head coach and John Todd Purves asactive consultant.^[30] On February 18, 2014, they tradedAlex Cabagnot to GlobalPort forSol Mercado,^[31][32] and acquiredRico Maierhofer from Barako Bull via a complex seven player trade.^[33] Assistant coachesSiot Tanquincen andLeo Austria were let go by the organization as part of the coaching rigodon.

On April 29, 2014, the San Miguel Beermen traded young big manYousef Taha for GlobalPort Batang Pier's rookie big man,Justin Chua.^[34][35][36]

AfterLuigi Trillo resigned with their main rivalAlaska Aces, Beermen Governor Robert Non was offered Trillo to be the new head coach to replaceBiboy Ravanes. But that time the Beermen offered him, Trillo was already talking with theMeralco Bolts.^[37][38]

The Beermen made some changes with their coaching staff during the off-season.  Leo Austria was brought back to the SMC organization and appointed as the new head coach of the team.^[39]  Biboy Ravanes returned to his old role as assistant coach but Todd Purves was demoted and given minimal role as consultant.^[40] They finished as the first seed in the2014–15 PBA Philippine Cup eliminations with a 9–2 record and earned an outright semis berth. Before the semifinals, Commissioner Salud approved the trade that sent back Sol Mercado toGlobalPort in a straight-swap withAlex Cabagnot.^[41] With Cabagnot back in the fold, San Miguel established the infamous "Death Five" along withChris Ross,Arwind Santos,Marcio Lassiter andJune Mar Fajardo which is widely considered as arguably the greatest and most successful starting five in league history.^[42] The Beermen swept theTalk 'N Text Tropang Texters in the semifinals.^[43] San Miguel then clinched their first Philippine Cup championship in 14 years by beating theAlaska Aces in seven games, for their 20th crown overall.^[44] Santos was named Finals MVP.^[45]

Coming off a championship run and due to lack of preparation, the Beermen started the2015 PBA Commissioner's Cup conference winless with four straight losses. Injuries to Cabagnot (hamstring) and Santos (knee contusion) only made matters worse. They decided to let go of import Ronald Roberts and brought in reigning Best ImportArizona Reid after the latter got his release from Rain or Shine.^[46] The Beermen missed the playoffs entirely after finishing the conference as the ninth seed with a disappointing 4–7 record.^[47]

Still with Reid as their reinforcement, the Beermen bounced back and triumphed once again against Alaska by sweeping them in the Finals of the season-ending Governors' Cup with June Mar Fajardo winning his first Finals MVP.^[48]

In the2015–16 PBA Philippine Cup, the Beermen once again finished the conference with a 9–2 record, this time as a second seed which assured them of a semifinals spot. In the semifinals, the Beermen defeated Rain or Shine and advanced to the Finals despite losing Fajardo in the series-clinching win in Game 6 due to a left knee injury. With Fajardo out, they faced Alaska for the second consecutive season in the Finals and fell into a 0–3 hole against the vengeful Aces. After winning Game 4 in overtime, Fajardo made a return in Game 5 and notched another win in the series. With their star center back even for limited minutes, San Miguel successfully completed their comeback in Game 7 and officially became the first professional basketball team in the world ever to come back from a 0–3 deficit to win abest-of-seven playoff series which was dubbed as the "Beeracle." Chris Ross was named Finals MVP.^[49]

The Beermen signedTyler Wilkerson as their import for the2016 PBA Commissioner's Cup.^[50] He helped the team record an 8–3 win–loss slate in the eliminations and finish as the first seed going into the playoffs.^[51] Days later after being down 0–2 to Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in the semis, an off-court drama has unfolded inside the San Miguel locker room after Wilkerson walked out of the team's post-game huddle.^[52] He was overheard saying, “Take me back to America. I want to go home.”^[53] The management eventually decided to let go of Wilkerson and play an All-Filipino squad in game 3, which they survived to stave off elimination.^[54] Wilkerson was substituted by their former importArizona Reid as a last-minute replacement in the middle of the semifinals. The Beermen lost to the eventual champions Elasto Painters in Game 4.

Finishing as the top seed once again, the Beermen faced a familiar foe in TNT KaTropa in the semifinals and beat them in seven games. San Miguel seized their third straight Philippine Cup title as they defeated Barangay Ginebra in five games to capture the second-ever Perpetual Trophy in league history. The organization was able to permanently keep the 2013 version of the Jun Bernandino Trophy in the process.^[55]

The Beermen hired reinfocementCharles Rhodes for their2017 PBA Commissioner's Cup campaign. With the help of Rhodes who eventually crowned as Best Import of the conference, the Beermen finally won their first Commissioner's Cup title in 17 years after conquering archrival TNT in six games.

In their quest for the franchise's second grand slam after winning the first two conferences, San Miguel was eliminated by Barangay Ginebra in the quarterfinals of the2017 PBA Governors' Cup with a twice-to-win disadvantage after finishing as the sixth seed.

During the 2017 draft, San Miguel selected Filipino-German big manChristian Standhardinger as their first overall pick. In the2017–18 Philippine Cup, they defeated theMagnolia Hotshots in five games en route to their fourth straight Philippine Cup title. However in theCommissioner's Cup, they were dethroned by Barangay Ginebra in six games which marks Coach Leo Austria's first loss in the Finals as San Miguel's head coach. The Beermen then failed to reach the Governors' Cup Finals later that year after losing to the Alaska Aces in the quarterfinals.

San Miguel further bolstered its roster by acquiring three-time scoring champion and guardTerrence Romeo in a trade with TNT. The Beermen continued their dominance in the All-Filipino conference as they faced Magnolia once again in a Finals rematch in the2019 PBA Philippine Cup. The Beermen outlasted the Hotshots and won the series with the slimmest of margins in Game 7, clinching their record-breaking fifth consecutive Philippine Cup title.^[56]

After finishing as the seventh seed, the Beermen rewrote history books once again as they became the lowest-seeded team to win a championship after defeating the top-seededTNT KaTropa in the six-gameCommissioner's Cup Finals.^[57] During theGovernors' Cup, the team parted ways with Standhardinger by trading him to GlobalPort for 2015 first overall pickMoala Tautuaa. The Beermen again fell short of securing the grand slam in the season-ending conference as they lost in the quarterfinals to eventual champions Barangay Ginebra.

In the next two seasons, San Miguel failed to reach the Finals as injuries plagued the team. Six-time MVP June Mar Fajardo suffered a complete fracture on his right tibia before the start of the2020 PBA season which caused him to miss the entire season. Terrence Romeo was also sidelined due to a shoulder injury. The short-handed Beermen were ousted by Meralco in the quarterfinals of thePhilippine Cup that ended their five-year reign as champions.^[58]

At the start of the2021 PBA season, the Beermen acquired two-time scoring champion and 2019 Rookie of the YearCJ Perez in a blockbuster trade. With a recovering Fajardo back, they failed to recapture the Philippine Cup as they lost to TNT in seven games in the semifinals. In a shocking move, they traded away their longest-tenured player in former MVP Arwind Santos to Northport for forwardVic Manuel.^[59] The Beermen continued dismantling their so-called "Death Five" by sending their long-time star guardAlex Cabagnot to Terrafirma forSimon Enciso. During the2021 PBA Governors' Cup, the team finished as the fifth seed as they were booted out once again by Meralco in the quarterfinals for the second consecutive season.^[60]

With a rejuvenated Fajardo back in full health, the Beermen topped the2022 PBA Philippine Cup eliminations with a 9–2 record. In the semifinals, they exacted revenge against Meralco as they vanquished them in seven games for their first Finals appearance in three seasons. They went on to defeat TNT in a well-fought seven games series in the Finals to reclaim the Philippine Cup title, three years after their historic five-peat in 2019.^[61] Solidifying his successful comeback from injury, Fajardo nabbed his record-tying fourth Finals MVP.
