[2] In 1975, when South Vietnam fell to the North Vietnamese, the communist government changed the name of the beer to "333 Premium Export Beer" in order to distance itself from its colonial origins.

[3] 33 Beer's name was derived from its original 33-centilitre (11.2 ounce) bottles from the early 1900s.

[3] 33 Beer originated in France using a German recipe and ingredients.

Production later moved to Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City) and it became one of the leading beers in Vietnam.

It is also available in Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Australia.
