1. Overview of Vietnamese beer
Beer first came to Vietnam in the 19th century by the French. At that time, beer production was done entirely by hand and this made the beer brewing process very slow but of high perfection. Two major beer brands entered the market during this time including Habeco (Hanoi Beer) and Sabeco (Saigon Beer).
Vietnam’s beer industry did not develop much until our country gained independence. Then the government started making changes in the tourism industry, which gave a boost to the beer industry. The tourism industry fuels a lot of foreign tourists and foreign business owners, and this leads to the import of a lot of foreign beer and many other types of beer that are also produced in Vietnam.
Today, Vietnam’s beer industry is quite large and developed both technologically and commercially. Beer has an indispensable place in Vietnamese culture. Not only is it associated with a party, but beer is also associated with a wide variety of events, celebrations, friendly meetings and reunions. In fact, Vietnamese business owners often invite customers out for a beer when they are discussing business transactions. For Vietnamese people, beer is a social drink. They prefer to drink beer in glasses rather than in cans or bottles. People from the “inner region” like to add ice cubes to their beer.
2. Canned beer and bottled beer in Vietnam
The fermentation time for canned and bottled beer is usually longer than draft beer. The beer is first fermented for 5 to 7 days, then processed and fermented again for about 6 days. Next, the beer is treated with compressed air, water, steam and carbon dioxide.
In Vietnam, canned beer is more popular than bottled beer. Some canned and bottled beers are local and others are imported. Beer is served in bars and pubs, but the most “Vietnamese” way to drink beer is to sit on the sidewalk and be served beer by local pubs throughout the streets, on plastic stools placed there. around tables on the sidewalk.
