I always wondered what kind of meat was on those bamboo sticks. When asked, they would usually say "no speaky, no speaky." Had to neutralize that rot gut beer somehow. Oh, to have the stomach now that I had then.
The beer now is as good as Phillipino beer. They added another "3" to 33 (now it is 333 beer) and quit using formaldehyde and battery acid so it no longer has that those distinctive tastes that Bia Ba Muoi Ba had during the war. It's good stuff, far superior to anything called "lite."
