Learn How to Make Makgeolli – Traditional Korean Rice Liquor

Come join us on April 4th for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to make makgeolli, Korea’s traditional rice liquor. We’ll start with a quick look at its history, then dive straight into making your own batch, which you’ll get to take home. To wrap things up, we’ll have a tasting of different styles of makgeolli. Makgeolli is a Korean rice liquor made through a process that’s similar to sake, but more rustic. Instead of using pure koji starter, it’s made with nuruk, a pressed grain cake packed with koji, wild yeast, bacteria, and other microbes from the Korean countryside. Makgeolli is a little sour, a little floral, and pleasantly sweet, with subtle hints of steamed rice. It’s not very strong, so it’s a perfect —but treacherous!—match for spicy food and good Korea.
