The second Great Beer Festival Korea for the year will be held at the Museum Cafe in Yongsan on May 30-31.
The festival will feature 130 kinds of beers, along with some food pairings. There will also be fun events such as stencil tattoo and DJing, along with live music and nonverbal performances.
“The festival is sure to be an entertaining time for couples, friends and families. Microbreweries and specialty beer establishments are popping up everywhere. With a growing number of people bored with mass-produced beer and aching for more variety on the menu, craft beer is becoming a major trend,” according to a press release.
“The biggest appeal of craft beer, beer fans agree, is that it lets them find the flavor that suits their mood, their taste and their personality.”
This festival will run from 5 to 10 p.m. on May 30, and from 3 to 8 p.m. on May 31.
Nineteen beer companies and three food companies will participate in the event.
Participating beer companies include HopMori Brewing Co., Brewdog Korea, Galmegi Brewing, Craftworks Brewing Company, Maloney’s Brewing Co., the Table Brewing Company, Kabrew, Hidden Track, Queen’s Ale, Craft One, Doa International , Gaffel Korea, Smooth International, Czech Beer International, Jejusien, the Gimpo-Paju Ginseng Argo Cooperative Association, Global Craft Korea, Craftbros Tap House & Bottle Shop, PYRUS Taproom & Bistro, Platinum, The Hand and Malt Brewing Co. and Big Rock Brewery
