So many microbreweries, so little time. We have visited quite a few – and most of them have had some great beer.
Craft Roo was a really nice place to hang out – nice chairs (yes, its a thing. It feels like most chairs in Asia are 20 cm high and made of plastic thoothpicks). Besides tasters flights, they had some nice snacks. Most beers on tap where their own beers.
We also had a trip to Euljirio Brewing, a beer you get i a lot of the tap rooms. Besides a very weird pale ale – they had some great beers…. The logo was something real special.
Good beers but a kinda nightmare ish setup – lots of neon, kinda cold/damp and fusion jazz played a bit to high.. Also the guys working there was standing next to each other in a kinda military setup until someone wanted anything..
also – their merch are incredibly expensive. I bought a small pin that has to be a numbered edition pr something.. 20.000 wons.. anyways.
Moving along we visited The Ranch, this place has a cool entrance, where you really cant see that there is a pub there.
You have to pull on that vending machine thingy, and then it opens onto the bar…. Which is better than Euiljiro…but pretty far from a comfy beer place with a large nice bar…good chairs… Etc . But at least there was no jazz
Good selection on tap, only tried a few since we where there 50 mins to closing.
We found a super nice spot just next to the MMCA museum, that…had a name…im sure..
Here we had the golden and weisen beer that both where excellent. Also had some great snacks..
Kiwa Taproom ! Yes, Kiwa!
Here we met a couple traveling and working in Korea – turned out that the guys was a director for some French musicals in Korea…so, long story short – on Wednesday we are going to see Don Juan on Seoul Arts Center ! …See, beer is and leads to culture. I will even get to use my “nice shirt” 👍
This other one I have forgot the name of for sure – but it was absolutely loaded with beer awards, and their beer was excellent to – the stout and ipa was good stuff.
You can nearly see the name of them here.. I will Google it…1 min.. Art Monster! – excellent selection of beer.
Moving out of Seoul i think we will find some great beers in Busan, if we get there. Also Jeju Island should have a few..
So far we havent seen anything crazy in the beer scene, there has been a couple of goese – and there was a lime infused pilsner that was strongly nice.
Slow brewing Seoul
A very popular brewery that makes both very good beer and makgeolli.
They have one of the beste beers we tasted in a long tine. They have won prizes for it, well deserved.
The food was amazing as well, so well worth the prize. Which was a bit prizy compared to other places.
