As well as imported beers that are available in shops, bars, and nightclubs around the country. The costs of local beer in Vietnam can range from US$0.90 to US$3.
The local Vietnamese normally enjoy drinking beer by buying beer from the nearby shop and sitting on plastic stools placed around tables on the footpaths. Their stools are provided by street stalls that also serve food. With the wide range of Vietnamese beers available in both bottles and cans. I have created a list of popular beers in Vietnam.
I have excluded beers like Heineken and Carlsberg as these are imports from Europe and are fairly expensive compared to the local Vietnam beers.
