The past year was all about home quarantine due to the pandemic. As a result, people started to enjoy drinking at home more and more, leading to makgeolli’s popularity shooting through the roof! Since traditional alcohol and liquor are permitted to be sold online, as opposed to soju and beer, it can be readily purchased without going out to the store. Simply order online one day, and receive it fresh to your door the next! One of the more popular brands in particular is Bae & Brewing Co.’s Neurin Maeul Makgeolli, meaning “slow village” makgeolli. After earning first place in a traditional alcohol blind taste test, it continues to reach even greater heights in popularity! As a by-product of their alcohol being exclusively purchased for delivery, Bae & Brewing Co. operates various shops to make products that are much more accessible even in Seoul! Why not sit back and kick your feet up with a nice cup of Neurin Maeul Makgeolli in the comfort of your own home?

Neurin Maeul Makgeolli can be enjoyed all over the city!

Known as the folk liquor of Korea’s local communities, Samhaejoo earns its name from being distilled as many as three times during production, hence the “sam”, meaning three, in its name. With the arrival of winter and the distillation season , quite a lot of time goes into the fermentation process and results in two kinds of alcohol being produced: cheongju (a kind of refined, clear rice wine) and soju. Samhaejoo is popular in local regions throughout the country besides just Seoul, but there’s a reason why it has become the staple traditional liquor of the city. Originally, Samhaejoo’s reputation was that it demanded significant time and work to make due its use of premium white flour, so the yangban (noble class) of days passed were typically the only ones that could afford it thanks to their comfortable economic status. It may not be as known as it once was, but considering all the applause it had received for its aroma and flavor back in the day, Samhaejoo is sure to expand it’s reach and become a signature traditional liquor brand of not only Seoul, but all of Korea !
