I commend your fervor mate, but question your taste :) I am pretty sure you can buy it by the case at the Warehouse http://newhanoian.xemzi.com/en/venue/show/784/The-Warehouse

They have a lot of Aussie stuff there, Bundy Rum, Coopers, and a fair range of Aussie wines.

My memory is erratic, but they may have it at the Annam Deli in the Syrena suite.

The Aussie Embassy has a barbie on the last Friday of every month, and a few times I've been forced to drink VB there, they always have it in stock.

For other Aussie beers, quite a few places have Fosters on tap (but show me an Aussie who drinks that?), and Coopers is finally starting to make itself known here (I'd drink that any day over VB, but I am biased, I even have a Coopers beach towel).

Jaspa's has Coopers at the exorbitant price of 86,000 a bottle. Matchbox has it at a much more reasonable price, but I forget what it is off the top of my head, and it is even cheaper in happy hour there.

Mandalay

Update

Snellopy, many thanks for your suggestions.

Went to the Warehouse which only had one bottled French beer type, unknown to me.

Annam has Coopers at VND 67.000 per bottle.

During my stint in Melbourne I came to appreciate Carlton but did not expect to find anything other than VB in Hanoi.

Please keep me updated should you come across VB or Carlton, which I defininely prefer over Bia Hoi, besides Bavarian Weissbier. Will also try the Australian Embassy barbie.

Thanks and regards.
