“Connecting cultures through craft beer” reads a mural painted high on the wall of Saigon’s East West Brewing Company’s headquarters and microbrewery. This is because the foundations of East West come from Portland, Chicago, and Germany, finally finding a home in Vietnam. Want a sampling of this depth of knowledge and experience. On Thursdays and Saturdays, you can join a tour where you meet the craftsmen and women operating the facility. You’ll learn how the beverages are brewed, and — of course — taste some delicious beer and food pairings. If you don’t have time for that experience, you can drop in any time for a craft beer flight of 4-6 drinks. We sampled some standards such as a stout and a very aggressive IPA, and were also treated to more unique flavors, such as a rose beer.
