Hanoi (VNA) – High-quality and good taste of 18 made-in-Vietnam
beer products left impression on visitors at the Pacific Beer Expo 2017, which
was held in Wellington, New Zealand, on October 21 and 22.
Organised since 2011, the expo has become an annual beer festival and served as
a venue to popularise new products of breweries in New Zealand and
Asia-Pacific.
This year, three Vietnamese breweries, namely Pasteur Street Brewing Co., Ltd,
East-West Brewery Co. and Heart of Darkness Brewery, brought to the expo their
latest drinking products which were highly appraised by the organizers and
visitors.
The Pasteur Street Brewing Co., Ltd,
which attended the expo for the first time, dazzled beer connoisseurs at the
event. Earlier, its Chocolate Cyclo Stout earned the company a gold medal at
the World Beer Cup Competition in the US in May, 2016.
Together with Maison Marou which has been available in New Zealand in 2016,
Vietnamese fruit-flavoured craft beer products will be sold in the country,
including beer with taste of dragon fruit, passion fruit, coffee, cocoa,
vanilla and jasmine.
Brandon Watts, General Manager of Pasteur Street Brewing, hoped to nudge
Vietnamese beer products closer to customers in New Zealand.
The Vietnam Trade Office in New Zealand proactively supported the companies in
popularising and exhibiting their products at the fair.
The expo was a golden chance for
Vietnamese enterprises to introduce their new-generation drinks to foreign
consumers.-VNA
