do you know the makgeolli man?

met the makgeolli man last night... approx 3 liters for 5000 won... ($5usd) ... he carts about hongdae selling makgeolli to those roaming about 2 something in the morning

and apparently there was a SPECIAL DISCOUNT going on where not only did we get two bottles for ONLY 5000 but a bunch of free paper cups...

Makgeolli, also known as takju, is a traditional alcoholic beverage native to Korea. It is milky, off-white in color, and sweet. It is made by fermenting a mixture of boiled rice and water, and is about 6.5–7% alcohol by volume. It was originally quite popular among farmers, earning it the name nongju (농주 / 農酒), which means "farmer liquor".
