Food and beverage websites argue about the best beers in the world, and we sometimes see a brew hailed as the most expensive in the world. Have you ever wondered which is the cheapest beer in the world?

Bia Hoi, most commonly found in Hanoi, is the most budget-friendly brew on the planet. Commonly described as having the appearance and flavor of Bud Light (go figure), Bia Hoi can be found for 3,000 VND per 12 oz. glass, which is the equivalent of about 16 US cents.

Gullible tourists and Vietnamese hobos seeking the beverage, need look no further than the ‘Bai Hoi’ or ‘Fresh Beer’ signs scattered throughout the city. Fresh beer is actually Bai Hoi’s English translation, and it is indeed brewed fresh daily — presumably in someone’s bathtub.

There’s no definitive word yet on whether it is worth the price. Link :tank:
 
Bathtub beer.. gross. I'll spend the extra money for a sanitary beer! How does it ferment in such a quick time period? Made daily? Does that mean grain to glass. Or brewed daily, ferments, then served?
 
Seem hanoian love to gather at the bia hoi restaurant. On my trip to Hanoi last September, we did a foodie tour for about 4 hours, it was not in the itinerary but the tour guide also took us to a sidewalk bia hoi site on Ta Hien Street, a lot of people there, it a great place to enjoy nightlife.
