LAOS

Highly appreciated by both locals and travelers, Beerlao has earned several international awards and remains one of Laos’ most iconic brands.

Beerlao is the emblematic beer of Laos, brewed by the Lao Brewery Company in Vientiane. Considered the country’s national beer, it dominates the domestic market and is exported worldwide, where it is praised for its light, crisp and refreshing lager style.

History and Brewing

Founded in the early 1970s, Beerlao has been produced by the Lao Brewery Company since 1973. Its recipe combines locally grown Lao jasmine rice with malt imported from Europe, while the hops and yeast traditionally come from Germany. This unique blend creates a clean, slightly malty lager that is perfectly suited to Laos’ tropical climate.

What Makes It Special

Beerlao is often regarded as one of Southeast Asia’s finest lagers, thanks to its balance of smooth rice sweetness, moderate bitterness and crisp finish. Over the years, the brand has expanded its range to include Gold, Dark, White Lager and IPA varieties, while Beerlao Lager remains its flagship product. Its quality has also been recognized with several international awards.

A Cultural Symbol

In Laos, Beerlao is much more than just a beer, it is a national symbol, enjoyed during meals, celebrations and sporting events. The brand also plays an important role in the local economy through its exports, helping to promote Lao products and culture on the international stage.
