Korean MakgeolliGota Hike
고타 하이크
Gota Hike is a 6% ABV makgeolli from Gangwon-do, brewed by Duru Brewing using domestic rice, koji, and yeast. At 6%, it occupies the classic session-strength makgeolli space, designed for extended, relaxed drinking rather than contemplative sipping. The domestic rice and koji produce a soft, creamy body with gentle sweetness that stays approachable without becoming cloying. The 750ml format signals communal intent, making this a natural choice for sharing over a table of jeon, fried dishes, and banchan. Duru Brewing, based in Gangwon-do, draws on the region's clean water sources for a smooth, uncluttered profile.
