Hana Makgeolli

“★★★★★ What an incredible experience at Hana Makgeolli! I visited with a group of friends and enjoyed a wonderful tasting of their makgeolli, yakju, soju, and cocktails. Every drink was beautifully crafted and showcased the depth of Korean brewing traditions. The highlight of our visit was meeting Alice, the founder. She graciously gave us a tour of the brewery and shared her inspiring story and passion for preserving Korean artisanal alcohol. Her dedication and vision made the experience even more meaningful. Hana Makgeolli is more than a tasting room—it’s a unique cultural experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something truly special in Brooklyn.”

“The only makgeolli tasting that I know of. Delicious and the presentation and experience were amazing. Great interior design making the lofty space bright and airy. Their canned makgeolli was surprisingly very good. I can’t wait for their slushy like ones in the future.”

“A brewery producing authentic Korean makgeolli in New York offers a truly special experience in Brooklyn. You can really feel the care, thoughtfulness, and craftsmanship put into every single makgeolli they make. The food pairings alongside the makgeolli were absolutely fantastic as well. I highly recommend ordering a variety of dishes to enjoy with the drinks!”

“As the only makgeolli brewery in the US, this spot offers some amazing Korean rice wine. They have a variety of different makgeolli options, such as ones made with black rice or even cherry-infused ones. The staff is super friendly and nice and the ambiance here is perfect for a date night. They also have some food options to enjoy with your drink!”

“A unique and delicious makgeolli tasting experience. My favorite was the banana milk, mint cocktail, and hwachae with watermelon juice. The space is small but well designed with great taste. Will come back to try their food as well!”
