Fun Facts About Makgeolli History

Makgeolli, Korea’s national drink, has a rich history dating back over 2,000 years, with its origins tracing back to the Goguryeo era. This traditional rice wine has been a staple in Korean culture for centuries, with its unique fermentation process and creamy texture setting it apart from other beverages.

Makgeolli was originally brewed for special occasions, like weddings and harvest festivals.

During the Joseon dynasty, Makgeolli was considered a ‘drink of the gods‘ due to its rarity and exclusivity.

In the 1960s, Makgeolli’s popularity declined with the rise of Western-style beers, but it’s since experienced a resurgence in popularity.

The Art of Traditional Brewing

Traditionally, brewers would meticulously prepare the nuruk, a Korean fermentation starter, by mixing it with water and allowing it to ferment for several days before adding it to the rice mixture.

This labor-intensive process requires patience and attention to detail, as the nuruk’s quality directly affects the final flavor and texture of the makgeolli.

Next, the brewers would carefully combine the fermented nuruk with rice, water, and other ingredients, stirring the mixture to create the perfect blend.

As the mixture ferments, the brewers would monitor its progress, adjusting the temperature and humidity to ensure the perfect fermentation environment.

With skill and dedication, the brewers coax the ingredients into a delicious, creamy, and slightly sweet makgeolli.
