A brewery refers to a place where alcohol, vinegar, etc. are brewed. Today, most food and alcoholic beverages are produced in large-scale factories, but in earlier times they were often made in breweries. In particular, breweries produce makgeolli according to traditional methods, making them places that hold the old memories of adults. Okcheon Iwon Brewery, which began along the Geumgang River in the 1930s before liberation, is said to have been widely rumored at the time for its excellent taste. At that time, the number of employees reached 20 to 30, showing that it was a large-scale brewery. Iwon Brewery, which has been making alcohol for nearly 100 years, can be seen as having shared in the major events and changes of modern and contemporary Korean history, such as the Korean War and the May 16 Coup. Iwon Brewery, which insists on only traditional makgeolli for four generations, has an excellent taste. The bitterness of the taste is low and the savory flavor is strong, so even people with weak tolerance can enjoy it deliciously.
