Convenience store CU announced on the 19th that it will launch 'Seomin Beer,' which transforms the 1000-won Seomin Makgeolli into beer.
The Seomin Beer, the second release in the Seomin series, is priced at 1500 won per can. It combines the refreshing taste of lager with the hop aroma characteristic of ale beers.
CU also introduces another new product that converts Makgeolli into beer, the 'Sulbing Injeolmi Beer.' It is a lager beer reinterpretation of Injeolmi Makgeolli, capturing the flavor and aroma of Injeolmi Bingsu, the signature menu of the bingsu franchise Sulbing.
Additionally, CU will exclusively launch on the 25th two types of 'Chebamos, Heymunro Life Makgeolli' in collaboration with the American lifestyle magazine Life. The newly released Life Makgeolli varieties use local ingredients, basil and lavender, respectively.
