This week on Beer Sessions Radio, Jimmy welcomes Carol Pak, the founder of Makku, a new brand of makgeolli, or Korean rice beer. Blake Crawford of Alementary Brewing also joins the conversation to talk about his collaboration with Kimchi Smoke on Seoul Brothers, a Korean rice beer that is being re-released this fall. Martin Johnson brings his perspective about where Makku fits into the beverage landscape as the director of the craft beer program at West Side Market’s East Village location. Together they talk about Makku’s flavor profiles, what it’s like to brew with rice, and how to educate consumers about a new category of beverages as well as get their feedback. Beer ListMakku OriginalMakku Mango Image Courtesy of Makku .Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.
