I am a home brewer with over 20 years experience fermenting many things, but I have not yet learned about making makgeolli before today. This is going to be one of my favorite memories of my Korea Trip this summer. I got a tour of the history and theory of Makgeolli and soju, hands on experience making a batch from scratch, a generous tasting of craft Makgeolli and soju, and wonderful conversation with the host. Plus tons of recommendations for local micro breweries (Nano breweries?) My only complaint is now I know what soju is really supposed to taste like.... :)

I went to the beginners brewing class and it was so fun. We were a small group but I went solo, I really enjoy the ambience and love to taste several makgeolli and spot the differences. The teacher was very patient and responded aaaall my questions, highly recommended!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Makgeolli making class. Our hostess, Eunji, was extremely informative, sharing lots of history and cultural context that provides great insight into the unique nature of what Makgeolli is today. Because it was in English, it is certainly geared towards visitors and I look forward to applying what I learned to my next batch!

An excellent journey through the brewing process, broken up by some well timed tastings. The host was very eager to share his knowledge of Makkgeolli and other Korean liquors

We had no idea what to expect but we had the best time. The class is small (just three of us) and JK was an incredible instructor.
We learned about the history of Sool as well as the process of making makgeolli. We got to try many varieties of makgeolli (that all tasted so different) and then to make our own.
One of us left the next day and two in two weeks so you can either take home what you make or take home already finished makgeolli.
JK also recommended a local rice wine restaurant (with vegetarian options) just down the street and it was some of the best food we’ve had in Seoul.
All in all, a completely brilliant experience that is not to miss!
