From Humble Beginnings to a Booming Craft Beer Scene
Saigon’s craft beer scene is young but thriving. Just a decade ago, only a few local & expat brewers were experimenting with new recipes. Today, the city has become one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting craft beer destinations. On this evening scooter tour, you’ll be on a craft beer journey through time: from Ho Chi Minh City’s oldest taproom to a unique rooftop brewery that showcases Saigon’s modernist style. We’ll take you off the beaten path and straight into Saigon’s hoppiest hidden gems.
