About Baekusaeng Makgeolli School and Brewery

Hey there! I’m Joe Kim, founder of Baekusaeng Makgeolli. Alongside being a Korean alcohol sommelier, I’m deeply passionate about well-being and healthy food.

Although I hail from Ecuador and was raised in the United States, my heart has always been drawn to my Korean heritage. When I finally set foot in Korea, I knew I had to reconnect with my roots. That’s when I stumbled upon the art of crafting Makgeolli.

Through our Book, Makgeolli School, and Online Course, we’ve connected with Makgeolli enthusiasts from all corners of the globe. It brings me immense joy to see people benefiting from our resources and even venturing into their own Makgeolli experiments.

I’m driven by a genuine desire to share Korea’s rich rice wine culture with the world. If you’re curious about our services or want to learn more, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d love to hear from you!
