Kailu
Time-Honored BrandKailu · Inner Mongolia · Founded
Kailu, a local liquor brand from Inner Mongolia, carries forward the prairie culture through traditional brewing techniques, with a profound historical heritage.
Brand Story
The history of Kailu liquor dates back to the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1875-1908), when the Kailu area of Inner Mongolia, blessed with lush pastures and abundant grain, saw the rise of folk brewing workshops. According to local chronicles, brewers used high-quality sorghum and clear spring water, combined with traditional Mongolian fermentation techniques, to produce a mellow baijiu (Chinese liquor) beloved by herders. During the Republic of China era (1912-1949), Kailu distilleries gradually expanded, becoming an important liquor supplier in the surrounding regions. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Kailu liquor was consolidated through public-private partnerships, preserving traditional techniques while incorporating modern technology. Kailu liquor is not just a beverage; it is a testament to the fusion of nomadic prairie culture and agrarian civilization, carrying the nostalgia and hospitality of the local people. Its brewing craft has been passed down through generations, reflecting the Inner Mongolian people's reverence for nature and love of life.
