Ba Na Brew House @ Sun World Ba Na Hills in Danang [Vietnam]

Now, I am generally not very bothered by deals but when it comes to a free glass of beer (250 ml) offered by Sun World Bana Hills when we collected the cable car coupons as part of our stay; I am definitely all in! 

Redemption at this Ba Na Brew House, which wasn't hard to find as it had that unmistakable "brewery" look. Honestly, I was prepared to just go in, get my drink, finish it, and then go off.

What I didn't realize was that there's an "experience the bana brew house journey"! Oh well, nothing's ever truly free, and since time was on our side, why not.

Look at those numerous, huge fermentation tanks! The brewery opened in August 2024, and said to be Vietnam's highest at 1,400 meters.

We were made to descend all the way to the bottom-most floor, although there wasn't anyone to give a tour. Well, if it's just a "process", we would just go with the flow before going up to the floor where we can get our beer.

Finally saw the counter for free beer! 

Six types of beer available in the brewery but as it's complimentary or part of a package; the ones I wanted were all sold out. :(

I had to make do with my least favorite.

The dark lager, which I thought was stout! 

How to drink beer without snacks?! The brewery was well aware and had staff members going around with a trolley full of chargeable snacks.

Went with a horrid tasting pretzel (cost 50,000 Vietnamese dong) that was cold, and dotted with large salt crystals. Is that supposed to the usual case in Germany? 

Happy with our dark lager. Not amazing for me as it was a bit richer in flavour whereas I always prefer something light like Tiger Crystal.

My mom seldom drinks but on this trip, given the abundance of cheap beer, she almost had a glass every day! Thank god she didn't too intoxicated.
