For Beer Enthusiasts, By Beer Enthusiasts

What kind of alcohol are we drinking this week...? Drinkit, always full of love for alcoholic beverages! This time, we are recommending two fragrant ale beers and one cider. If you usually enjoy only lager beers, how about trying a new type of beer? If you prefer fragrant ales, pay even more attention!

Hogis Apple Paradise Cider & Pear Heaven Cider

Hogis Cider comes from Estonia in Northern Europe (*TMI: Estonia is the country that developed Skype video calls). Hogis offers two flavors: apple and pear, and it is a cider beer. Even people who dislike beer can easily sip Hogis Cider lightly. In short, it is a beer that melts away smoothly. What’s unique is that these two beers use apple wine and apple juice. The foam dissipates quickly, but it also feels refreshing. The packaging is unique and pretty, making it a good choice to drink like champagne. It would also pair well with pepperoni pizza.

Hanok Village Ale

Hanok Village Ale aims to blend traditional German beer brewing methods with Korean elements. It uses domestically produced rice to emphasize smoothness and cleanliness. The malt aroma is rich and nutty, with a hint of sweetness. It has almost no cloudy feeling, making it good for light drinking, so it is recommended to drink it alone! It’s not special, but its charm lies in being unpretentious. However, if you haven’t enjoyed ales before, it might taste quite bitter.

Jeju Baengnokdam Ale

Among the three beers introduced, this can be called the most ale-like beer. Jeju Baengnokdam Ale boasts a clear and transparent yellow color and is brewed with Hallabong (a type of citrus). It has a strong citrus aroma that is sour and tangy. As a white ale with almost no heaviness, it may be divisive. It is best enjoyed on its own. However, if you need a snack, we recommend pairing it with bite-sized snacks like crackers that don’t have a strong flavor. The banana and Hallabong scents are quite noticeable, so be sure to pour it into a glass and try it.
