About Bia Saigon Special
Bia Saigon Special is SABECO's mass-premium lager, positioned a step above the mainstream Bia Saigon Lager and sold on the idea of elevating an occasion rather than on price. The company built that position in 2025 through a partnership with Michelin in Vietnam, a summer campaign and an Extra Special Night event, and during Tet turned the brand into a gift with a "Loc Special" promotion that ran from online entry to physical reward.
