181–185 Ly Tu Trong, Ben Thanh Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City
Fancy a great pint in Saigon that isn’t mass-produced lager in a sweaty glass? Look no further than East West Brewing Co., one of Vietnam’s original microbreweries and the proud home of seriously top-tier craft beer.
Founded with a dream to bring world-class brews to Vietnam without cutting corners, this brewery has built a reputation for bold flavours, meticulous brewing, and a vibe that’s as refreshing as the beer.
There’s craft beer, and then there’s East West craft beer, where East meets West in the most delicious way possible. Here’s why this place is raising the bar:
Brewed with Grit and Gusto – Every beer’s made with only the freshest gear from around the globe. Think American hops, Aussie punch, and Vietnamese soul.
Led by a Master Brewer – Head brewer Sean Thommen’s from Portland, Oregon – basically the holy land of craft beer. With over 20 years in the game and brewing science creds from Chicago to Germany, he knows his stuff.
Flavours That Travel – They mix local charm with global technique to craft brews that are as adventurous as they are tasty. If beer could backpack, this would be it.
Atmosphere On Tap – Think polished concrete, open brewing tanks, and good tunes. It’s the kind of place where one pint turns into four and no one’s judging.
Thirsty? These are the brews that built the buzz. Bold, award-winning, and brewed to impress, one sip and you’re hooked.
Far East IPA – Full-bodied, hoppy, and a bit of a show-off. With hops from the US and Oz, it’s got a tropical punch and a proper bitter finish. Not for the faint of tongue.
East West Pale Ale – This flagship ale balances English malts with Aussie and American hops for a well-rounded brew that’s refreshing without being basic. It’s the pint you reach for again (and again).
Belgian Blonde – Sweet, strong, and a little sneaky. Fermented with Belgian yeast and finished with Vietnamese palm sugar, this golden beauty is floral on the nose and full of character.
Saigon Rosé – This wheat ale is loaded with fresh raspberry flavour and a refreshing tart finish. Fruity, fragrant, and dangerously easy to drink.
East West is more than just cracking beer, it’s a proper night out. You’ve got live music, beer launches, brewery tours, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to cancel your next plans.
Grab a seat by the brewing tanks, tuck into their hearty menu (burgers, wings, the lot), and soak up the buzz. Whether it’s date night, lads’ night, or “just one pint” (you liar), it’s a spot that delivers every time.
