If you’re in town over the holidays, head over to Lion Brewery to get something truly rare in Saigon: seasonal beer.
Brewmaster Tung has concocted some fantastic suds for the season, a sweet amber to wash down all that sausage and kraut you’re bound to chow down (it’s hard not to get into the German spirit underneath the soaring ceiling of the beer hall). Tung’s Christmas beer is not too heavy–locals tend not to go in for anything too strong–but it’s tasty, frothy and refreshing.
Lion Brewery is tucked into an entryway to across from the Opera House to the left of the Caravelle Hotel at 11C Lam Son Square.
