Tapuey (rice wine), basi (sugarcane wine), tuba (palm wine), and lambanog (distilled liquor from tuba) are traditional alcoholic beverages of the Philippines that are intrinsically linked to the economic, social, and cultural life of the Filipinos. Despite their existence that predates the Spanish colonization that happened in the 1600s, at present, there are very minimal scientific investigations devoted to these traditional beverages. This work is a nascent attempt to consolidate existing studies on these beverages, albeit limited, with the aim of introducing these to an international audience and providing a scientific understanding for these beverages. The chapter briefly describes how these traditional alcoholic drinks are implicated in Philippine culture. A general description of each traditional drink is provided. The physicochemical characteristics specific to each beverage as well as the attributes conferred by naturally occurring compounds present in these beverages are presented. The production process of each beverage is outlined, highlighting peculiarities in methods of production. The chapter also presents the problems and challenges that beset the traditional beverage industry of the Philippines, and in the end, compelling grounds are asserted to justify the necessity for more empirical studies on the topic.
