Every visitor to Vietnam should find themselves ending the day (or starting) with a few glasses of "Beer Hoi" ("beer of the day"). Beer Hoi is a Pilsner that is brewed and drunk on the same day. The fact that you have to drink it on the same day only increases the fun in my book. So what's so good about Beer Hoi?
- It's cheap (around 15c to 30c AUD). Let put this into context shall we? It's CHEAPER THAN WATER PEOPLE!!!!
- It's delicious
- It's refreshing
- You generally get to drink it in small shop fronts or lane ways with a collection of interesting locals
- You're helping the local economy
- When they run out, they just tap another keg, and if you're lucky you'll see someone head off on the motorbike with anywhere from 1 - 7 kegs to grab some more. (Yes, we've actually seen a motorbike with 7 kegs on it)
Need I say more?
