Korean Beer Enjoyed in a Quiet Korean Hanok – Mungyeong Ganadara Brewery

The second brewery recommended by Incheon Airport ✈ is “Ganadara Brewery” located in Mungyeong. What’s notable is that the brewery is located on the first floor of a Hanok (traditional Korean house). The beer and hanok pairing 🤝 is what makes this place so special.
If you go up to the tap room on the second floor, you can taste Mungyeong’s specialty liquor. For example, there’s the “Mungyeong Saejae Pale Ale”, which has a subtle taste with a lingering finish. Or there’s the “Omihanjan”, a sweet and sour fruit alcoholic drink made from Mungyeong’s specialty produce omija (magnolia berries) and apples 🍎. There are 11 different kinds of beers to choose from, so find the one that suits your tastes!
You can also head down from the tap room on the second floor to the brewery’s first floor, where you’ll be able to see the staff hard at work. There’s something reassuring about being able to see the behind the scenes action for yourself. Nicely packaged beer sets are also on sale, making the perfect gifts for people back home. If you’re in Mungyeong, Ganadara Brewery is a must-visit spot. Be sure to visit and buy a variety of beer unique to the region of Mungyeong!

Nature-Friendly Beer Made From Clear, Clean Water – Chuncheon Squeeze Brewery

The third spot recommended by Incheon Airport ✈ is Squeeze Brewery in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do. The wooden oak barrels and the brick exterior are reminiscent of a sophisticated liquor factory in Europe. It is a place that brews beer boasting excellent taste and drinkability, thanks to a 230-year-old tradition of a German Caspari Brewing Facility.
Squeeze Brewery uses clean, clear Chuncheon water, earning it the Grand Prize at the Korea Liquor Awards for two consecutive years in 2019 and 2020. In addition to offering brewery tours, every Saturday, you can listen to a beer expert tell fun stories and receive a special Squeeze Brewery ticket that will make you feel like you’re traveling!
You can also pair craft beer with dishes made by a chef from a five-star hotel. Delicious food topped with clean and crisp tasting beer is why Squeeze Brewery has been gaining a lot of attention as a great date spot.
