Vietnam is looking good as the selection for Southeast Asia’s craft beer-lovers. The country has a great relationship with beer, and has managed to bring in foreign craft beer brewers from around the region over the last few years. 

Across Districts 1, 2, and 3 of Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, it’s easy to find craft beer breweries with operational capacities comparable to those in Western countries.

There are about 30 brewers in Vietnam, which is also home to the headquarters of Pasteur Street Brewing Company,  with its popular Marou cocoa pod-infused Cyclo Stout.

Vietnam’s beer consumption as of 2022 was 2.2 percent of the global market, at 3.8 million kiloliters of beer annually. This has made it the leader in the ASEAN region for beer consumption.

Key players dominating the market include both domestic and international brands like Heineken, Carlsberg, Sapporo Breweries, Hanoi Beer Alcohol and Beverage Corp. (Habeco), and Saigon Alcohol Beer and Beverage Corp. (Sabeco).
