Yangchon Brewery

Nonsan · Korea · Est. 1920 · 3rd Generation. Traditional Chungju

Established in 1920, Yangchon is one of the oldest commercial breweries still in operation in Korea — over 100 years of continuous brewing. Their organic rice is grown using snails released in the paddies to clear weeds, eliminating the need for herbicides. After brewing, the chungju is aged for 60 days then pasteurized before bottling. The result is a deeply savory, complex rice wine that pairs beautifully with food.
