Cham Brewing Pine Makgeolli

Description

Cham Brewing Pine Makgeolli is a 5.5% ABV makgeolli from Jeollanam-do, brewed with domestic rice layered with pine needles, angelica root, and Hallabong citrus from Jeju. The pine needles contribute a resinous, forest-like freshness that distinguishes it from fruit-forward makgeolli styles, while angelica adds a subtle herbal depth. On the palate, the texture opens creamy and full before transitioning into a clean pine-driven finish with a gentle tangerine lift from the Hallabong. The ingredient list also includes oligosaccharide and yeast, which help balance fermentation sweetness without making the finish heavy. It pairs naturally with savory jeon, fried chicken, or spicy kimchi dishes where the pine freshness provides a cooling counterpoint.
