OUR STORY

The name “Turtle Lake” is our way of showing appreciation for Hanoi. We chose to call ourselves Turtle Lake Brewery as it refers to Hoan Kiem lake and the ancient tale of the turtle and the sword. It’s our homage to the welcoming city that has given us so much—beautiful friendships, a home, and a platform to start a business. We wouldn’t have been able to open anything like this back in America, so Vietnam has also given us our livelihood.

It was always important for us to create something that the Vietnamese people can identify with. Keeping the brand localized is important part of our brand. Most people know that the Vietnamese love beer, so we thought Vietnam craft beer would be a perfect gift for them.
