2016 Traditional Korean Liquor and Food Festival

We just updated about a Makgeolli and International Flower Festival happening in April, but we have another heads up about a Korean Liquor and Food Festival scheduled for the weekend of May 19-20th. This one will be happening in the heart of Seoul at the Namsangol Hanok Village, and will feature all kinds of Korean alcohol and food pairings.

Goyang Makgeolli Festival 2016

The blossoms are blooming and we are mid-way through this year’s cherry blossom season, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t more flowers to be amazed and take selfies in front of! And what better way to enjoy the spring air and newly sprung flowers than with some makgeolli in hand? Thankfully someone else thought of this winning combination, and made a festival specifically for flowers & makgeolli.

Spring is springing, and we are changing things up a little this month! We have long been advocates for makgeolli’s rather under-praised cousin, cheongju (also referred to as yakju). Cheongju is the golden yellow liquid that separates from the sediment during fermentation of makgeolli, and can be just as tasty as it’s milky counterpart.
