The beer is based on locally grown jasmine rice; the hops and yeast used are imported from Germany.
Beerlao Original (5% Alc./Vol.), the original lager produced by LBC, is sold in 330 ml and 640 ml 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 2007, restaurants in Laos charge 10,000 to 12,000 kip for a 640 ml bottle, which is a little more than US$1. In limited places, the beer is available in draft form (on tap). This is referred to as biá sot ("fresh beer") by the locals.
In 2005 LBC launched a locally produced Carlsberg beer and two new Beerlao products, Beerlao Light with lower alcohol content (2.9%) and Beerlao Dark with an alcohol content of 6.5%. These both come in 330 ml bottles
Also, in April 2008 LBC launched another beer brand called LaneXang which is a name of the old kingdom. Since its launch LaneXang has been continuously gaining popularity among local drinkers.
The company claims to have a 99% market share of the national beer market in Laos.
Beerlao is the official sponsor of 2009 Southeast Asia Games which will be held on 9-18 December, 2009 at Vientiane, Laos.
