What it is
The freshest beer on Earth: bia hơi — Hanoi's draft beer brewed daily, delivered each morning to corner shops, and drunk the same day from cloudy glasses at tiny plastic stools for a few thousand đồng — the world's best beer ritual per litre of ceremony. Origins: the French brought brewing (Hommel brewery, 1890); the bia hơi system of daily fresh kegs is a post-war Hanoi institution (Tạ Hiện street is its Broadway). Made from: barley, rice adjunct, hops — brewed light, unpasteurised, unfiltered-ish. How it's made: 1) Brew; keg without pasteurisation. 2) Deliver at dawn. 3) Sell out by night (yesterday's bia hơi does not exist). Served: at sidewalk corners with lạc rang (peanuts), nem chua and grilled squid. Flavor: light, fresh, sessionable. Strength: ~3-4%. Culture: bia hơi corners are Hanoi's living rooms — the beer is almost free and the company is the product. See also: Rượu (Vietnamese Rice Spirit).
