Great craft beers
Magpie was started in 2011 by four friends in a quiet alley in Seoul and along the way helped spark an explosion of craft beer. In Korea, the magpie is known to herald good news; like the bird, it's Magpie's mission to spread great beer and craft beer culture across the country.
In 2012, they opened their first tiny brewshop in the sleepy neighborhood of Kyoungridan, with just one pale ale on tap, which set off a flurry of pale ales being brewed across Korea.
In 2016, they opened their brewery on the north side of spectacular Jeju Island. Restructuring an abandoned tangerine warehouse, they built a beautiful brewery surrounded by the cleanest air and water in the country. Here they brew both year-round core series and their ever-expanding roster of seasonals and one-offs. Each spring, summer, fall and winter they release at least 3 seasonal beers, always giving their fans a reason to come back to try something new.
Magpie Brewing Co. believe you shouldn't have to travel far to enjoy great beer - so their goal is to offer Magpie across Korea. At Magpie they make the kinds of beers that they love to drink. They like to push boundaries (brewed the first sour in the country) and incorporate local unexpected ingredients (recently they have made beers with Jeju tangerine peel used for Korean traditional medicine as well as sancho pepper and smoked Korean hobak pumpkins) but above all they strive for balance and drinkability.
