Your Makgeolli adventure begins with a guided tasting of seasonal brews, allowing you to experience the diversity and character of this living drink. You will become familiar with the essential tools and core ingredients that define traditional Makgeolli, and gain a clear understanding of how fermentation, filtering, and conditioning shape its flavor and texture. Through an expert-led comparison, you will taste the difference between commercial Makgeolli and carefully crafted artisanal brews, learning how production choices influence quality. Along the way, you will explore Makgeolli’s deep historical roots, its cultural role in Korean society, and the modern revival that has brought it renewed appreciation today. To complete the experience, you will take home your own handcrafted Makgeolli, ready to continue fermenting and evolving beyond the brewery walls.
This experience includes alcohol tasting and is available only to participants of legal drinking age in Korea (21 years). The program content, tastings, and take-home Makgeolli may vary depending on season and production conditions.
