About 333
333 descends from "33 Export", the beer launched in Saigon in 1949 that SABECO calls the direct predecessor of today's brand. It was widely drunk across southern Vietnam through the 1950s and 1960s and survived the change of ownership in 1977 that created SABECO. The company describes it as favoured by Vietnamese drinkers and by visitors alike, and concentrates its marketing on Tet, when the brand leans on bonding and hospitality rather than on novelty.
