Beerlao

At the jetty in Muang Ngoy, a village that can only be reached by boat across the Nam Ou River, the empty beer supplies are waiting to be replenished.

The Lao Brewery Company Ltd. operates the only brewery of significance in Laos. Favoured by high import duties, Beerlao has a market share of 98 to 99 percent in Laos. | Laos
