Hi everyone!
I do freelance videography on the side, and had the opportunity to try locally made makgeolli in Vancouver. After tasting it, I think more people should enjoy this drink!
Here is the quick video I made for them; for those of you who do not know what makgeolli (막걸리) is, it is a traditional Korean rice wine.

I’d say more like rice beer, it’s not very strong. But it’s not brewed the same as beer of course, it’s its own thing. And very tasty. Really splits the difference between food and drink.
Makgeolli is my favorite Korean alcohol. “Real” soju is fantastic. But, I could drink makgeolli all day every day. Haha
I live in metro Vancouver and my sister got me a bottle of the chestnut makgeolli that these producers make and it is sooo good! Thanks for posting this!
Here’s a good trot song to listen to while enjoying your magkeoli https://youtu.be/qth1m2sKPrk?feature=shared
It’s perfect with Korean food. Slightly fizzy and sweet, low in alcohol, great for quenching the spiciness.
Love the vid! Cute, cool, and fun!
Yep, it’s DELICIOUS!!!
While I love makgeolli, I find it gives me a headache, which I almost never experience with any alcohol. I read it has something to do with more modern ingredients used, though, so I wonder if some other brand or smaller batch would be better for me.
I had the best Makgeolli in Korea. When I tried to find it in the US, even at places like HMart, they all had aspartame in it and that confused me. I try to avoid aspartame/nutrasweet. I miss the good Makgeolli in Korea!
Thanks for sharing and spreading the word. Not that many people are aware of makgeolli, all my friends just know and stick to soju.
