Vietnam’s beer industry
Vietnam’s beer industry is one of the largest and most developed in Southeast Asia, driven by strong domestic consumption and a young, urbanising population.
The market has historically been dominated by large domestic brewers alongside multinational groups, with beer deeply embedded in social and dining culture.
In recent years, the industry has shifted toward premiumisation, with rising demand for higher-quality lagers, craft beer, and differentiated brands.
At the same time, tighter regulations on alcohol advertising and drink-driving have reshaped consumption patterns, pushing brewers to focus more on branding, distribution efficiency, and value-added products.

Hanoi beer relocation
The Hanoi People’s Council has approved a resolution requiring the relocation of the historic Hanoi Beer factory, built in 1890 and now serving as the headquarters and production site of Hanoi Beer – Alcohol – Beverage Corporation.
The 52,000-square-metre site in Ngoc Ha Ward is among industrial facilities deemed incompatible with the revised master plan for the capital’s central urban area.
Hanoi Beer’s Me Linh plant, operating since 2009 with a capacity of 200 million litres a year, currently accounts for 25–30% of the group’s total output.
