Makgeolli Brewing Workshop
JS Brewery, 8970 MD-108 Ste B, Columbia, MD 21045, USA, Columbia, MD, USFrom Our Fermentation to Your Hands: The JS Brewery Story
At JS Brewery, we believe that the best Makgeolli isn’t manufactured—it’s fermented.
Every bottle starts as a conversation between tradition and science. We’ve spent years perfecting our ratios, sourcing the best rice, and listening to the "whisper" of the fermentation. Now we’re inviting you to step behind the scenes and see exactly how the magic happens.Our Philosophy: Science Meets Tradition
Most people think Makgeolli is a mystery. They see the cloudy, tangy drink and wonder how three simple ingredients can create such a complex profile. At JS Brewery, we’ve decoded that mystery, and we’re ready to share our secrets with you.
In this class, you aren’t just a student; you are a Guest Brewer. We will guide you through the exact process we use for our signature brews:- Just: 3 ingredients. Learn about them and how we prepare them naturally with no additives, preservatives, chemicals, etc.
- Journey: Understand the origins of makgeolli and how it is prepared.
- Sincerity: Master the care and intention that ensures a clean, premium finish every time.
Your Journey to Becoming a Brewer
This isn't just a lecture—it’s a hands-on immersion. You’ll be working with the same high-quality ingredients we use in our day to day brewing."We don't Just want you to drink JS Brewery Makgeolli; we want you to understand its Soul."
By the time you filter your batch, you’ll have more than just a drink. You’ll have the skills to recreate the same fermentation in your own kitchen, turning your home into a micro-brewery of its own.
Are You Ready to Brew?
The jars are waiting, the rice is soaking, and the team is ready to welcome you. Let’s make something legendary together.
