Vietnam first appeared beer named Hoang Sa, Truong Sa

I have put a lot of effort into thinking, thinking and finding many experts around the world for advice and help. And as a result, on the evening of January 19, 2021, two beers named Hoang Sa and Truong Sa island districts of Vietnam were launched in Ho Chi Minh City, enthusiastically received by consumers.

"Japan has Sapporo and Kirin beer with the names of two famous islands, China also has Tsingtao - Qingdao beer. So why doesn't Vietnam have beer named Hoang Sa and Truong Sa?"? A craft beer maker in Vietnam asked the question and after a while of cooking, his Seefahrer Premium Beer Co., Ltd. launched a beer called Truong Sa - Hoang Sa.

Not only bringing to the market the best taste of craft beer, but this beer brand also tells the story of the nation's history in a different way.

Mr. Tran Song Hai, Director of Seefahrer Premium Beer, said that finding a beer that is suitable for Vietnamese culture and cuisine, while also harmonizing Western cuisine, is not an easy process. German experts have started to do that after 7 months of incubation, with 5 different batches of testing to finally produce a beer flavor suitable for the majority of Vietnamese people called Hoang Sa special craft beer and Truong Sa special.

Beer uses malt (barley) and hop (hops) from the state of Bavaria, Germany. Because it is produced for Vietnamese people, the taste of beer is adjusted to match pure Vietnamese dishes, poultry and seafood.

"The story here is not simply a beer, but the message is that our two archipelagos are permeated by each person's blood and flesh and are a very sacred symbol. That's why I named these two archipelagos for them. beer products and was unexpectedly supported by everyone", Mr. Hai shared in the Saigon Economic Times.

Notably, Seefahrer Premium Beer invests in labels and packaging so that after drinking, people will keep beer bottles as souvenirs. On the beer bottle is also a story about the history of Hoang Sa - Truong Sa.

On the bottle of Hoang Sa beer, there is a plaque, which is the order of King Gia Long to send the navy and Hoang Sa team to sail out to explore and measure the Hoang Sa waterway, affirming Vietnam's sovereignty over this island. from ancient times. These scripts are the Nom script," said Mr. Hai.

The sophistication, care, and especially the soul of the performers are also reflected in the image of a distant ship on the bottle label. That is the image of the ship HQ-505 in the battle in 1988, when it was hit by a bullet about to sink, Vietnamese soldiers bravely rushed to the Colin shoal, keeping the island for the Fatherland. The events of the war in the past are reproduced through the picture, through the narration of a person who has a lot of debt to the sea and islands of Vietnam.

Another unique feature on the beer bottle is the image of the ship HQ-505 in the 1988 battle when it was hit by a bullet about to sink. At that time, Vietnamese soldiers bravely rushed to the shore of Colin Island, keeping the island for the Fatherland.

According to information on Mr. Tran Song Hai's personal page, the retail price is 395,000 VND/box of 24 cans in the South. Selling price in Central, North with shipping fee. The price of a box of 24 bottles of Hoang Sa Specal and Truong Sa Special is VND 935,000/carton.

This beer is also being sold on the GrabFood app. Under the article about this beer named after this island or on the personal page of Mr. Tran Song Hai, you can see the enthusiasm of the Vietnamese people.

"I have been drinking 3 times, 1 flavor each time. The taste is very good, especially, this beer is not much in the market because currently only producing enough pre-ordered quantities... share more with everyone" , another comment states.

Mr. Hai said that many distributors in some countries have negotiated to bring this beer abroad, including to Hong Kong (China). That is also Mr. Hai's wish - spreading the name Truong Sa and Hoang Sa abroad to increase awareness of Vietnam's sovereignty.

It is known that in early 2019, Mr. Hai released a beer called B49 - written "drive" from the name Tu Chinh beach - a coral reef on Vietnam's continental shelf, where Vietnam has a DK1 rig. face all challenges.

The name comes from the fact that at that time, foreign ships fiercely harassed the oil and gas exploration drilling that Vietnam was legally conducting at sea. Tran Song Hai that year had the opportunity to welcome the crew of an American aircraft carrier to visit Vietnam, he brought this beer to invite. They asked why not B52 but B49, Mr. Hai replied: "B52 is a blood debt to the Vietnamese people, so I can't name it, but B49 stands for Bai Tu Chinh, which belongs to Vietnam." .

Last Tet holiday, the company only produced 2,500 cases, while the order quantity was up to 3,000 cases. Up to now, many units and departments of Ho Chi Minh City also support and choose this beer. Good, quality products associated with historical stories help young Vietnamese today learn and remember history.
