Bia hơi or Bia tươi (literally "fresh beer"), is a type of draught beer popular in Vietnam.
Bia hơi is available primarily in northern Vietnam. It is mostly to be found in small bars and on street corners.[1] The beer is brewed daily, then matured for a short period and once ready each bar gets a fresh batch delivered every day in steel barrels. It is a very light (around 3% alcohol) refreshing lager at a fraction of the cost of draft or bottled beer in the Western-style bars. Bia hơi production is informal and not monitored by any health agency.
As of September 2020 a small cup is typically priced between 5,000₫ (US$0.22) and 11,000₫ ($0.47).[2]
