Description

Cheongnyangju is a 6% ABV traditional rice drink from Gyeongsangbuk-do's Beopjeon Brewery, brewed with white rice, nuruk, jongkuk (seed koji), and yeast. The low proof and clean recipe produce a smooth, balanced drink that prioritizes drinkability and subtlety over bold flavor statements. At 750ml, the bottle is sized for sharing over a full Korean meal. The restraint of the ingredient list - no added sweeteners, fruit, or botanicals - means the character comes entirely from the interplay of grain fermentation and yeast, resulting in a gentle, understated beverage with quiet grain depth.
