The brewer
Baedari Doga is a small brewery in Gajwa-dong, Goyang, Gyeonggi. It was founded in April 2022 under a new license by Park Sang-bin, fifth generation of a brewing family that began selling home-brewed liquor in Wondang in 1915, together with his two sons. It brews makgeolli by the samyangju (triple-brewed) method using only 100% Goyang Gawaji rice, named after the 5,020-year-old Gawaji rice seeds, plus purified water, yeast and ipguk. Instead of an automatic stirrer, the father and two sons take turns stirring the fermentation tanks.
