The 31 Essential Restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

"Before Pasteur Street Brewing Company, the craft beer scene in Vietnam was pretty much nonexistent. You could get only the local mass-produced beers or imported brands at local bars, restaurants, and street food joints. Founders John Reid and Alex Violette decided to merge American craft brewing techniques with fresh, local Vietnamese ingredients. They brewed their first batch in November 2014, and by 2016, they burst onto the international craft beer stage when their Cyclo Imperial Chocolate Stout took home a gold medal at the World Beer Awards. Pasteur has remained the undisputed craft beer leader in Vietnam, expanding its catalog of beer flavors and taprooms while winning multiple awards and exporting overseas." - Linh Phan
