Fun class and now I can make my own! - I had a great time learning how to make makgeolli at Joe's class. I have been drinking makgeolli for about 30 years but I didn't understand the subtlety of what to look for in a good makgeolli. And now I know how to make my own! I highly recommend this to anyone who likes drinking makgeolli and wants a fun activity learning how to make it. We also sampled some of Joe's makgeolli and it was DELICIOUS!

Social, great event - Fun lecture on the history and cultural significance of Makgeolli and the production of other types of alcohol. Also the tasting of the different varieties was great! We had a lot of fun and were able to make and take our own Makgeolli. We have now bought all the ingredients at home and will soon be making our own Makgeolli. Thanks again:)

Making delicious makgeolli that will impress you - It was my first time making makgeolli.
I was taught how to make makgeolli very carefully and it was a wonderful time.
I was able to sample many different kinds of makgeolli.
The homemade makgeolli was incredibly delicious.
I'm looking forward to taking the makgeolli home with me.

Fun hands on class with a great instructor - Joe was an excellent host and had great communication both before and after the class. I'd recommend this as a unique experience to anyone who likes getting hands on and learning something new. As a bonus, the makgeolli keeps flowing and it's fun seeing the difference between all the different options.

Excellent class with engaging instructor - This class was wonderful, Joe is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his craft and happy to share with others! I'd recommend this class to anyone travelling to Seoul in a heartbeat, don't miss out! My only regret is that I wouldn't be able to take my makgeolli with me on the plane home.

Hands on and fun! - Very enjoyable way to spend our first evening in Seoul. Joe was an excellent teacher and very organised. We learnt about the history of Makgeolli and then had a very hands on experience making our own! We met a fabulous group of people and it was a great night. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Amazing Joe with great ambience - Joe was fantastic. I enjoyed the classes and got to drink different types of makgeolli.
Joe taught us that making makgeolli does not require fancy equipments. I got see take home my own bottle of makgeolli!
He also sells makgeolli and soju brewed by him. His sweet potato makgeolli is very addictive and taste awesome. His bar/store would be my first stop to stock up on makgeolli when I visit Seoul again.

Awesome and Inspiring Experience! - My husband and I really enjoyed this class which felt like half learning/doing, and half (practically) unlimited drinks. Joe was so nice and the day before, we asked to move our date and he was flexible and responded so quickly. We found this place in this cute alleyway with a bunch of other shops, it's very cozy and warm inviting atmosphere. We sat down and had tons of different makgeolli as he went through the history and how to make it. There was only the 4 of us in this session so it felt personalized.
It's super convenient that he has youtube videos and sends instructions afterwards. We all went back with our own huge jar (FYI you need to burp it every day, otherwise it bursts open).
Being back in San Francisco, we're inspired to make some of our own! If we ever go back to Seoul, we'd totally go back for a drink.
Thank you, Joe!
