BeWater Brewery
If you're looking for mindfulness in a bottle, Bewater brewery is your answer. This award winning brewery is located in Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do and helmed by Baek Gyeong-rak. Bewater brewery isn't just serving up makkoli, they're dispensing liquid enlightenment.
Inspired by Lao Tzu's philosophy of water, each ferment channels the fluidity and introspective spirit of water into their meticulously crafted brews which are free of artificial additives; because there's no room for fake on our journey to inner peace & self-discovery.
Cultivated with the aid of weed-eating snails and brewed from a blend of organic glutinous and non-glutinous rice, female farmers in the Bonggang community practice a unique form of sustainable agriculture. You can rest assured no snails were harmed (or involved) in the brewing process. With such attention to quality and detail, Bewater's Inner Peace series is a rare find. Only 100 bottles emerge from their two-month low-temperature aging.
Their master-brewer, deeply immersed in meditation and philosophy, oversees every step – from rice washing (yes, that matters) to fermentation – ensuring each sip is a pilgrimage towards inner peace and a gateway to mindful exploration.
Inner Peace Calm -
Infused with Dill which comes from the Norse word for calm - 'Dyll', it wasn't just a flavour for the legendary Norsemen, it was their secret weapon for unwinding after battle, and in later years used to calm fussy babies (think Gripe water). This makkoli is your portal to tranquility. With an added hint of mint to this calming elixir, it's a smooth sip to conquer your day after any battle or crying baby, metaphorical or otherwise.
Inner Peace Flow -
Crafted with organic rice, a unique blend of 3 different malts and aged at a low temperature for 60 days, this brew was made for maximum innerimmersion and flow. Notes of Lavender whisper peace, stability and healing (Ayurveda agrees). Mint shines like a laser for focus, and organic Campbell grapes favoured by monks make for a meditative wine. So go on and find your flow, even if that means flowing into a Savasana.
