[Visit a Brewery] 11. Horangi Baecop Makgeolli Brewed with Wine Techniques Stamp Tour

The Rising Tiger Shape, the Navel of the Korean Peninsula

Horang-i Bae-gkop (Tiger's Navel) is shaped like a tiger and located at the heart of the Korean Peninsula.

This unfiltered makgeolli (Korean rice wine) is produced at a brewery in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do, situated at the navel of the peninsula.

Pyeongtaek, meaning 'flat and fertile land,' is renowned for its high-quality rice.

Especially, the rice paddies near the brewery, facing the sea, benefit from sea breezes, creating an exceptional terroir.

Horang-i Bae-gkop is a local brand that uses premium rice grown with care by farmers who love their region and

produces makgeolli using pure natural spring water from a pristine underground aquifer.

We strive to preserve the pure, authentic taste of makgeolli from the days when tigers were said to smoke.

Natural Makgeolli Crafted with Winemaking Techniques

A Luxurious Taste with a Light Body

Horang-i Bae-gkop unfiltered makgeolli, created with the concept of the first-ever rice wine in Korea,

features the lightest body among makgeolli varieties.

This easy-to-drink, refreshingly delicious taste, consistent since its initial launch over a decade ago,

has broadened the horizons of flavor within the traditional Korean liquor market, which was previously dominated by thick, turbid tastes.

Pour Horang-i Bae-gkop unfiltered makgeolli into a wine glass and experience the sophisticated, unassuming flavor of

100% rice-brewed alcohol, savoring its unique taste and aroma.

100-Day Fermentation with Dedication: Refreshing Pear Flavor & Subtle Honey Fragrance

Compared to typical makgeolli, which ferments for 3 to 7 days, Horang-i Bae-gkop undergoes a significantly longer fermentation and aging process,

lasting 100 days.

Low-temperature aging helps to bring out the natural taste and aroma of the rice.

The refreshing, crisp taste, akin to taking a bite of a juicy pear, combined with a subtle honey aroma, is 100%

the peak aroma you can find in newly harvested rice wine.

A Delightful Drink Throughout and After Enjoying It

NO! Artificial Additives

We completely avoid artificial additives, including aspartame and other

complex, hard-to-pronounce ingredients.

We believe that good liquor can be medicine and create our beverages with that in mind.

Made with only natural ingredients, it's enjoyable to drink and leaves you feeling refreshed without a hangover.

It's a delightful unfiltered makgeolli that's refreshing both during and after consumption.

The Artistic Label of Horang-i Bae-gkop

Horang-i Bae-gkop is a testament to the profound understanding and affection for the local area by renowned Korean Western painter, Lee Gye-song.

The label of Horang-i Bae-gkop features a section of the artist's 1988 painting, '[1988 Tiger]'.

The label showcases the artist's characteristic vibrant brushstrokes and an Eastern color palette, making it a true work of art.
