Brand Story
Weishui liquor takes its name from the Wei River in Gansu Province, where brewing history dates back to ancient times. Historical records show that the Wei River basin was a prosperous agricultural region, producing high-quality grains ideal for fermentation. As early as the Zhou and Qin dynasties (c. 11th century–206 BC), local communities brewed along the riverbanks, and by the Tang and Song dynasties (618–1279), the craft had matured significantly. Legend has it that Fan Zhongyan, a renowned Song dynasty statesman, praised the liquor's richness while stationed in the northwest. During the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368–1912), numerous distilleries flourished along the Wei, making it a vital local industry. Weishui liquor embodies the boldness and warmth of the northwestern people, standing as a proud representative of Gansu's drinking culture.
