Description

Gungye's Tears is a 10% ABV traditional brew from Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do, produced by Sulbijneun Jeongane Brewery using 31.1% Pocheon rice, 3.1% nuruk, and 0.3% young silvergrass (eoksae) shoots. The two-stage fermentation begins with a non-glutinous rice base, then adds glutinous rice for depth and a silkier texture, creating a layered grain complexity. The silvergrass shoots contribute a subtle herbal tone that distinguishes this from purely grain-forward styles. At 720ml and 10%, it is a mid-weight brew designed for thoughtful food pairing.
