Over the years, Beerlao has grown to become the most popular beer in Laos, with a market share of over 90%.

Production

The production of Beerlao involves the use of local ingredients, including jasmine rice and Laotian water. The beer is brewed in the lager style, which involves a longer fermentation process at lower temperatures compared to other types of beer. This results in a beer that is light in color and has a crisp, clean taste.

For example, Beerlao Lager has a slightly sweet taste and an alcohol content of 5%, while Beerlao Dark has a richer, more robust flavor and an alcohol content of 6.5%.

Beerlao is distributed both domestically and internationally. In Laos, it is available in most restaurants, bars, and stores. Internationally, it is exported to countries such as the United States, Australia, and several countries in Europe.

Reception

Beerlao has received positive reviews for its taste and quality. It has won several awards at international beer competitions, including the gold medal at the 2007 BrewNZ Awards.
