Description
The address is HQ and not the brewery.

Story of The Booth Brewing Co.(“The Booth”) began in May 2013 as a small pub in an alleyway off of Gyeonglidan, founded by Korean medicine doctor Heeyoon Kim, financial analyst Sunghoo Yang and The Economist correspondent Daniel Tudor. The three friends had a simple philosophy: find your fun and be the best at it. And that fun was beer.

Fast-forward to today, we became the first Asian brewery to take charge into the world’s largest craft beer market. Our mix of fun-based philosophy, unique artwork, and fresh Humboldt-made beer has started to excite many Californians, as well as the tastebuds of many beer judges.

Since then, we have been breaking industry boundaries: from hosting the largest craft beer festival in Korea to pioneering 100% cold-chain distribution to launching Mikkeller-collaborated Tae(dong)gang Pale Ale, a challenge to North Korea’s national beer. We collaborate with artists, musicians, and diverse brands that share a similar passion for fun, across all industries including sports, fashion, coffee, and arts. We also created Korea's first and only pro-LGBT beer last year, a part of Seoul Pride Film Festival.

On tap at Mikkeller Bar - Seoul, pours a clear ros�-tinged copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lacto and a very citric, persimmon-like, raspberry tartness. Flavour is quite tart, with persimmon, raspberry and lacto. Very tart and citric finish, ramping up the acidity but still reeled in by the lacto. Pleasant stuff.

Cloudy, has a lot of bright fruit and a lot of bitterness, so it’s a bit yeasty but not bad. Less diacetyl than the product from the actual Taedong River brewery.

Hazy, not much head. Stone fruit, a touch overripe, on the nose. Low bitterness and some husky malts to go with the stone fruits on the palate. A splash of alcohol to punctuate the palate. Not coming together that much for me.

Hazy, darkish sort of blonde, thick head. Nice abundant tropical fruit hops on the nose, almost as bright on the palate, just a touch of yeast.
