In Hoi An, we got our first taste of bia hoi, or fresh draft lager beer, which is brewed daily w no preservatives so bars need to sell through it that day. This means you can find it for awfully cheap vs bottled beer & it tastes just fabulous (even Amy the wino loved it). We just so happened to book a hotel right near 3 of the cheapest joints in town regularly selling bia hoi for 5k dong (approx 75 cents) but went on a search one day for 3k beer (it just seemed like a worthwhile mission). The best we did was 4k dong beers which translates to 60 cents. Fuckin A.


You crack me up.

Right? Supposedly throughout Vietnam but I think it’s only a northern thing bc we only saw it beginning in Hoi An & then north in Hanoi. Big fans.
