At our makgeolli brewery in Hyehwa, our experts will guide you through the different kinds of sool and fermentation techniques that make Korean alcohol truly special. You’ll then have the opportunity to sample some of our delicious, home-brewed makgeolli before you move on to the practical part and make your own! We take you from the very beginning stages of washing rice to the final filtering process, and make sure to equip you with all the knowledge you need to continue brewing makgeolli long after you leave. At the end of the class, you'll have the option to take home a kit with all the basic ingredients you'll need to recreate your own brew, or take away a bottle of makgeolli instead! We are a fully functional makgeolli brewery, so you can rest assured that you're learning from experts with hands-on experience in the craft.
