Beerlao
Beerlao (Lao: ເບຍລາວ) is the generic name of a range of beers produced by the Lao Brewery Company (LBC) of Vientiane, Laos.
The beer is based on locally grown jasmine rice; the malt used is imported from France and Belgium, the hops and yeast are imported from Germany.
Beerlao Original (5% Alc./Vol.), the original lager produced by LBC, is sold in 330 mL and 640 mL (1+1⁄8 imperial pints) bottles and 330 mL cans. It is available throughout Laos, and in Western-style restaurants in Cambodia. It is increasingly available in bars in Thailand. As of 2013, restaurants in Laos charge upwards of a base price of 40,000 kip for a 640 mL bottle, which is a little less than US$2.00. In some places, the beer is available in draft form (on tap). This is referred to as bia sot ("fresh beer") by locals.
In 2005, LBC launched a locally produced Carlsberg beer and two new Beerlao products: Beerlao Light with a lower alcohol content (2.9%), and Beerlao Dark with an alcohol content of 6.5%. These both come in 330 mL bottles. Beerlao Light has been discontinued.
In April 2008, LBC launched another beer brand, a 5% alcohol lager called Lanexang. "Lanexang" means "Million Elephants" and was the name of a historic Lao kingdom, 1354–1707. Since its launch, Lanexang Beer has been continuously gaining popularity among local drinkers though it is relatively hard to find.
A new beer, Beerlao Gold, was introduced in 2010. Its distinguishing ingredient is "khao kai noy" rice, which is claimed to give the beer a "...good scent and non-sticky texture,..."
In 2018 and 2019, LBC launched two new beer types; Beerlao White, a white lager, and Beerlao IPA.
The company claimed to have a 99% market share of the beer market in Laos in 2008, though this may have been eroded by the arrival of Singapore's Tiger beer on the market.
