Alice Jun Of Hana Makgeolli On Being Part Of The Beverage Revolution
Today’s guest is Alice Jun, founder of Hana Makgeolli, the artisanal Korean rice wine producer based in Brooklyn. She was introduced to makgeolli at a young age, helping her father brew batches at home throughout her childhood. During her time at NYU, Alice began brewing rice wine on her own, a hobby that turned into a series of pop-up dinners, tastings, and parties. After graduation, Alice began working as a consultant at Deloitte, but continued to devote her weekends to her brewing practice. In 2017, she made her passion her full-time profession and launched Hana Makgeolli with aspirations of becoming the foremost artisanal makgeolli brand in the United States.
Alice shares how she went from making makgeolli in her dorm to building a production facility and tasting room in Brooklyn and connecting with her Korean American roots.
Don’t miss her chat with host Abena Anim-Somuah or her voicemail to her future self!
