What Is Makku Blueberry Rice Lager?
Makku Blueberry Rice Lager is a lightly sparkling rice-based alcoholic beverage inspired by Makgeolli, Korea's traditional rice brew that dates back more than a thousand years.
Unlike traditional lagers brewed primarily with barley, Makku uses rice as its foundation, creating an exceptionally smooth, creamy mouthfeel with gentle natural sweetness. The addition of blueberry adds a refreshing burst of fruit without overwhelming the drink's delicate balance.
The result is a crisp, lightly carbonated beverage that's unlike anything else on tap.
