SUNMAI

The very start of SUNMAI began with three German style beers: wheat beer, dark lager, and amber lager, which were initially only served in “Le Blé d’Or” restuarants. Their Chinese name, Jin-Se-San-Mai, literally means “Three golden malts”. After years of development, they created a brew with locally produced longan honey and won WBC championship in 2004 with it. It dawned on them that only by rediscovering the unique local ingredients can they show the world what they haven’t tasted in beers! From there, they explored countless possibilities and succeeded in creating more sparks with new techniques and local features. In 2016, they officially renamed themselves to “SUNMAI”, to accent their Chinese brand name and their contemporary Taiwanese style. Thei rlogo takes inspiration of the outline of a barrel, formed by three neatly arranged horizontal strokes that also mimic the Eight Triagrams “Sky” in I-Ching. For them, it means the harmony of the sky, the people, and the earth.
