bia hơi

literally: air beer

Street draught beer, very light and dirt cheap

Built from

  • bia beer
  • hơi gas, steam, breath

Gas beer: fresh draught brewed daily and drunk the same day, which is why it is cheap and why it is a whole social institution in the North rather than just a drink.

Who can you say it to? Fine with anyone your age.

A northern institution: brewed in the morning, drunk that night, never kept.
