Kinds of Craft Beer

edit

The Booth Brewing Co.[15]

edit
  • Tae Dong Pale Ale: The Booth Brewing Co. paired up with Mikkeller to brew a beer that was even better than North’s Taedonggang beer. Hoppy aroma of fruits are followed by light, roasty malts. This is a beer that is loved by everybody.
  • Kukmin IPA: The Booth’s flagship IPA. It’s got an enormous amount of fragrant, exotic aroma. The full body and rounded mouthfeel are balancing out these explosive aromas and flavors. So eccentric yet so accessible.
  • Kieuk IPA: The Booth collaborated with craft beer-loving Kiha & The Faces to brew this Session IPA. It’s a true hop bomb and you’ll immediately get citrus, mango and tropical fruits with this beer. Each gulp will put a smile on your face. Play Kiha’s new track ‘ㅋ’ with this Session in your hand. Your mind will soon be ㅋㅋㅋ
  • The Great God of Fun: The Booth is bringing the luck of the Irish to Seoul. Malty, caramelly creamy and a thick head like ice cream. And of course it has that little Irish twist. We dare you to try to drink only one. If you start turning into a Leprechaun its not our fault!

AKITU Brewery

edit
  • Dalmaji: AKITU's signature craft beer flavored vanilla with mild and fresh taste.
