The San Miguel Beermen was a professional basketball team that played in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) from 2012 to 2013. The team was from the Philippines and owned by San Miguel Corporation (SMC). This franchise was separate and distinct from the original Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) franchise. The Beermen played most of their home games at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City but also played some of their games in the Olivarez College Gym, Ynares Center, and PhilSports Arena.

In July 2011, SMC announced its participation in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) beginning in the 2012 ABL season, as the San Miguel Beermen - a franchise distinct from its PBA franchise.

In June 2013, the Beermen won its first ABL title in the 2013 ABL Playoffs, defeating the Indonesia Warriors. The team disbanded shortly after without any formal announcement.

The retired numbers of the San Miguel Beermen hanging in the rafters of the Ynares Sports Arena belong to those who played for the original San Miguel Beermen team in the Philippine Basketball Association, not the ABL team.
