Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

The residence and garden of Haechang Brewery were built in 1927 by Shibata Hikohei, who was born in Gunma Prefecture, Japan, passed through Gangjin, and settled in Haenam. After liberation, his eldest son Mr. Moon, founder of Haenam Samhwa Elementary School, lived there, and the brewery license is believed to have been applied for by his eldest son Mr. Moon in 1961. Afterwards, Mr. Hwang Eui-gwon, who was engaged in brewing, took over Haechang Brewery and lived there brewing liquor for over 30 years. Since 2008, the couple Oh Byeong-in and Park Ria have lived there and run the brewery. Haechang Brewery, densely filled with about 40 kinds of trees, began to be known to the world as rumors spread that its garden was beautiful. As it was introduced on KBS in 2011, KBS in 2012, and Chosun Ilbo in 2013, the number of visitors from afar increased. And in 2014, because the garden was beautiful and modern cultural heritage remained nearby, it was selected as a 'Visit-worthy Brewery' designated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. There are two theories about the name makgeolli: it means liquor filtered just now (geumjang) and liquor filtered roughly (bakhage). Haechang makgeolli brewed at Haechang Brewery is not sweet and has the living aroma and taste of ingredients without artifice.
