Ho Chi Minh City – August 2024 – The Saigon Beer-Alcohol-Beverage Corporation (SABECO) has officially unveiled 333 Pilsner, a smoother, lighter version of its classic brand.  Our Vietnamese brewmasters, who have a deep understanding of local tastes, have used European technology and high-quality imported ingredients to develop a new beer that has outstanding aroma and flavor, and is extremely easy to drink. 333 Pilsner is set to deliver a unique and extra-smooth experience to Vietnamese consumers.  

Experience a renowned brand with new taste

333 Pilsner is the first addition to the portfolio of Bia 333 – one of the first beer brands to be available in Vietnam. This new offering reflects SABECO's commitment to continuous innovation by offering a high-quality product to meet Vietnamese consumers’ evolving preferences.

One of the key features of Bia 333 Pilsner is the use of hops from the Hallertau region in Bavaria, Germany - the world’s largest hop-growing area. These hops form one of the key quality ingredients in Bia 333 Pilsner enhancing its refined flavour profile with mild bitterness as part of its well-balanced taste’.

333 Pilsner is the first addition to the portfolio of Bia 333 – one of the first beer brands to be available in Vietnam.

Combining its quality key ingredients with the European Extended Cold Fermentation technology, 333 Pilsner delivers a lighter and smoother taste, distinguishing itself from other beers on the market and elevating its taste experience. The innovative process involves fermenting the beer at low temperatures, followed by aging at even colder temperatures for an extended period. This method enhances the beer's natural aroma, achieves a smooth taste, and has a bright, clear color for the beer.

With the finishing touch, harmonizing the exceptional ingredient and technology lies the expertise of SABECO’s Vietnamese brewmasters. Having received specialized training in Berlin and possessing a deep understanding of Vietnamese culture and preferences, they are the masters behind 333 Pilsner - a quality made-in-Vietnam product that truly fits the local tastes.

New extra smooth 333 Pilsner comes with an alcohol content of 4.3% and is available in two elegant versions: a high-necked green bottle (330ml) and a tall sleek can, both featuring a modern, premium design that reflects a refreshing character.

Ms. Patsy Lim, Deputy General Director of Marketing at SABECO, said: "We are always thrilled to see long-standing brands rejuvenating themselves to cater to the new generation of consumers. Crafted by Vietnamese brewmasters, 333 Pilsner is brewed using the enhanced extended cold fermentation technique from Europe to deliver a truly distinctive, extra-smooth taste. This is perfect for Vietnamese consumers who prefer an extra smooth seasonable beer when enjoying their social gatherings with their family and friends.”
