So many microbreweries, so little time. We have visited quite a few – and most of them have had some great beer.

Craft Roo was a really nice place to hang out – nice chairs (yes, its a thing. It feels like most chairs in Asia are 20 cm high and made of plastic thoothpicks). Besides tasters flights, they had some nice snacks. Most beers on tap where their own beers.

We also had a trip to Euljirio Brewing, a beer you get i a lot of the tap rooms. Besides a very weird pale ale – they had some great beers…. The logo was something real special.

Good beers but a kinda nightmare ish setup – lots of neon, kinda cold/damp and fusion jazz played a bit to high.. Also the guys working there was standing next to each other in a kinda military setup until someone wanted anything..

also – their merch are incredibly expensive. I bought a small pin that has to be a numbered edition pr something.. 20.000 wons.. anyways.

Moving along we visited The Ranch, this place has a cool entrance, where you really cant see that there is a pub there.

You have to pull on that vending machine thingy, and then it opens onto the bar…. Which is better than Euiljiro…but pretty far from a comfy beer place with a large nice bar…good chairs… Etc . But at least there was no jazz

Good selection on tap, only tried a few since we where there 50 mins to closing.

We found a super nice spot just next to the MMCA museum, that…had a name…im sure..

Here we had the golden and weisen beer that both where excellent. Also had some great snacks..

Kiwa Taproom ! Yes, Kiwa!

Here we met a couple traveling and working in Korea – turned out that the guys was a director for some French musicals in Korea…so, long story short – on Wednesday we are going to see Don Juan on Seoul Arts Center ! …See, beer is and leads to culture. I will even get to use my “nice shirt” 👍

This other one I have forgot the name of for sure – but it was absolutely loaded with beer awards, and their beer was excellent to – the stout and ipa was good stuff.

You can nearly see the name of them here.. I will Google it…1 min.. Art Monster! – excellent selection of beer.

Moving out of Seoul i think we will find some great beers in Busan, if we get there. Also Jeju Island should have a few..

So far we havent seen anything crazy in the beer scene, there has been a couple of goese – and there was a lime infused pilsner that was strongly nice.

Slow brewing Seoul

A very popular brewery that makes both very good beer and makgeolli.

They have one of the beste beers we tasted in a long tine. They have won prizes for it, well deserved.

The food was amazing as well, so well worth the prize. Which was a bit prizy compared to other places.

it cant be all weird food and new beers, gotta get some culture in there to. MMCA is located just under 2kn from our hotel, and today the sun was out to – so it was a nice walk up there.

It was close to free entrance, a huge place – but I think a few of the exhibitions where closed. We went for the two available, The Hashtag Project and a large exhibition of Lee Kang So

The hashtag exhibition was a bit more interactive, and we kinda forgot to take any pictures – to bad. But it was pretty cool where they had created a huge game where all visitors worked together er to save the World – by posting ideas and needs.. but also, no pics

There was a area where you also could create your own statue – Maren made a pretty nice one

And as we see lots of places in Asia, umbrella parking 🙂

now here is a shop u dont see to often

it specializes in misc clothing for cats and dogs. Truly weird 🙂

For the summer and holidays in France, a chiq ble dress.

And for that car that has hit the food a bit to often and hard… Pluss sizes

endless possibilities.. they even had Spiderman and Superman outfits

Located in the middle of the village area thingy right outside our hotel. Small narrow streets with small shops and lots of restaurants, is Aledang, with tons of craft beer on tap.

We decided to do a beer stop here, the clock is -after all- way! past 12 oclock.

the sampler, of course.. the guy all the way to the left.. a LIME pilsner, pretty nice!

The bare is the same as with lots of the shops and restaurants in this area, with a large outside area when you get into the bar itself – feels secluded and quiet. Supernice with glass roof and the sun shining.

Beside the tasters, flight, we had to try the cherry goese.. suppa nice!.. We didnt order food – but it looked like the pasta was pretty good.

They had some 50-60s music playing jazzy stuff.. They could have turned it down a notch.. or Im just getting old 😀

the prices aint to bad either, we thought it was going to be a bit more pricey. Also the weather – its starting to feel like a Norwegian summer.. without the rain 🙂

Another day walking around in the medina, with a visit to MAP

The museum is located in the medina, walking trough narrow streets.

Medina, as far as I understand it, is the old town within the old city walls..usually. 

The medina is pretty close to our hotell, 2-3km or so, a nice walk in great weather. I think it was 30-33 degrees here today, not a cloud to be seen. So i usually keep close to the side of the street and shadow, while Maren seeks out as much sun as is possible.

True to traditions we have our yearly celebration of our wedding anniversary (the 8th.). This year it was Maren that did the planning and we ended up outside of Europe for once, Morocco.

Leaving Oslo at 7 in the morning, we decided to book a night at the airport hotell – the generic airport hotell, but! They had a extraordinary nice banana mojito.

Being out wedding anniversary, we googles around and found a nice place for dinner.
