What Sets Our Class Apart

At Baekusaeng Makgeolli, we are more than a brewery offering a one-day experience.
We are leaders in creating makgeolli resources for brewers worldwide—through our offline classes, published book, and online courses.

It has been our pleasure to teach students from all over the world, and in every class we:
• Share practical brewing knowledge rooted in traditional methods, using fresh, real ingredients—not simplified shortcuts.
• Train students to continue brewing at home, giving them the confidence and understanding to ferment independently after returning to their countries.
• Encourage experimentation and creativity, helping each student develop their own style and expression of makgeolli.

Our goal is simple but ambitious:
to grow a global community of makgeolli brewers who understand the craft, respect its traditions, and continue brewing long after the class ends.

Join us—and become part of the worldwide makgeolli brewing journey.

What to expect

Become a Makgeolli Brewer — Not Just a Visitor

At Baekusaeng Makgeolli, our mission goes beyond a one-day experience.
We don’t just host classes—we create makgeolli brewers worldwide.

This is a hands-on, fun, and deeply instructive class designed to give you real brewing knowledge you can take home and continue using long after you leave Korea.

In this class, you will:

• Taste thoughtfully selected makgeolli, learning how aroma, sweetness, acidity, and texture come together.
• Understand the essential ingredients and tools used in traditional and modern makgeolli brewing.
• Dive into fermentation—from yeast and nuruk activity to filtering and conditioning techniques.
• Take home your own makgeolli to ferment (approximately 1.2 liters), continuing the process yourself like a real brewer.

By the end of the class, you won’t just have a bottle—you’ll have the foundation to keep brewing, experimenting, and deepening your relationship with makgeolli wherever you are in the world.
