Summary
Beerlao, Laos’s iconic jasmine rice beer, is making a major comeback in the Midwest thanks to Chicago-based distributor Laos to Your House. After years of being hard to find, this smooth, culturally rich brew is now hitting shelves in Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin — even landing in Sam’s Club after customer demand. Founded by Stacy Seuamsothabandith and her husband, who grew up sipping it at family gatherings, the company is driven by a mission to spotlight Lao culture. Restaurant owners love its pairing with food, and with a massive September shipment of 28,000 bottles on the way, this beer is proving that listening to the community can turn a forgotten brew into a national sensation.
