We had such a great experience! Isaac was awesome, and we learned so much about both makgeolli and soju. The class was hosted in a really cool little brewery, which made the whole experience feel even more special. It was super interesting learning about the history and brewing process, and the drinks themselves were fantastic. We’re really glad we did this and would absolutely recommend it!

If you have any interest in brewing/fermenting, spend time with Joe! It is clear from the beginning he is very passionate about his craft and has gone to great lengths to create his shop and this tasting experience. We learned a ton, had some delicious drinks and enjoyed spending time
with him. 5 stars!

Fun experience! I didn't know much about makgeolli and now I know a lot more. The host is very friendly and extremely knowledgable. The experience makes it easy to meet new people too. I would recommend it to anyone I know traveling to Seoul.

I would recommend this experience to everyone! I’ve had makgeolli before but never knew there’s so much more to it. From the history of it to the making of the alcohol, Isaac was extremely knowledgeable and did a fantastic job sharing his passion in makgeolli with us. They were also very generous and kept offering us more and more to drink. Definitely a unique and fun experience! We absolutely love it !
