C-Brewmaster’s Lemongrass Ale (4.5% ABV)

This playful little number joined the list because, as you sip it, you can tell it’s special. As much as I love American-style craft brews, you can always tell them distinctly from other brew styles. C-Brewmaster’s Lemongrass Ale is all Vietnamese.

Although this brewery made their name in Hanoi, they just stepped into HCMC about a month ago, and they seem to be doing well here so far. Nguyen Van Cuong, the brewmaster, holds the honorable title as the first Vietnamese craft beer brewmaster, and he practices this title well.

Another notable brew on tap is the Ginger Ale, but do not be fooled — this one is much better. Light and refreshing and very lemongrass-forward, it’s a good beer to start off your night.

Where you can get it: It seems like C-Brewmaster is still finding their footing in the HCMC beer scene, so be sure to go to their taproom (52B Nguyen Binh Khiem, D1) to get the good stuff. Alternatively, Cuong says you might also find some bottles at Rogue and Rehab Station (27/6 Nguyen Binh Khiem, D1).
