Shinpyeong Brewery

Korea · Est. 1933 · 3rd Generation. Traditional Makgeolli

Founded in 1933, Shinpyeong is one of the oldest breweries still in operation in Korea. A third-generation brewer continues the craft today. Their White Lotus Makgeolli is a takju-style rice wine fermented with white lotus leaves in traditional onggi earthenware vessels — paying homage to the Buddhist tradition of “grain tea.” The white lotus is a symbol of Buddhism and imparts a delicate floral essence to the brew.
