Lager
This is a bottom-fermented beer characterized by a clean and refreshing mouthfeel. It's the most popular style, with most beers we commonly drink falling into this category.
It's widely liked and pairs well with any food, making it a good reference point for diving into different beer styles.
Pilsner
This golden lager is notable for its distinct hop bitterness. Its clean and crisp finish is appealing, making it perfect for quenching your thirst.
Among lagers, it stands out with its hop flavor, so it's great for beginners who found standard beers a bit bland.
Pale Ale
This ale has a good balance of hop aroma and malt. It's not too strong, making it the most straightforward choice for ale beginners.
The moderate aroma and suitable bitterness make it a good bridge when moving from lagers to craft beers.
IPA
This ale, generously hopped, features strong bitterness and aroma, representing the craft beer style. Its citrus and tropical fruit hop aromas are enticing.
While its distinct character divides opinions, once you're hooked, it's hard to let go, making it beloved by craft beer enthusiasts.
Weizen
This smooth wheat beer evokes scents of banana and cloves. With its rich foam and gentle mouthfeel, it’s enjoyable for everyone.
Its low bitterness and smoothness make it a particularly good style for those who find bitter beers daunting.
Stout
This heavy dark beer has a black color and boasts flavors reminiscent of coffee and chocolate. Its creamy texture and deep roasting aroma are its hallmarks.
Rich and substantial, it's best enjoyed slowly, and pairs beautifully with desserts or savory snacks to enhance the flavor.
Porter
This is a lighter dark ale compared to stouts. The rich flavor of roasted malt pairs beautifully with a subtle sweetness.
If you're curious about dark beers but find them a bit heavy, this is a great style to recommend for beginners.
Saison
This refreshing and dry ale originates from Belgian farms. Its complex aroma reminiscent of fruits and spices is charming.
With its crispness and clear personality, it’s perfect for enjoying cool in the summer, and it pairs well with a wide range of foods.
Sour Ale
This is a unique beer intentionally brewed to be sour. Its tartness is blended with fruity aromas, providing a delightful experience.
The flavor challenges traditional beer concepts, making it an interesting choice for those who wish to experience various styles.
Dunkel
This German-style black lager retains a rich malt flavor. Despite being a dark beer, it’s smooth and easy to drink.
Its comforting flavors that evoke bread are attractive, making it a great fit for those who find heavier stouts burdensome.
Tripel
This Belgian Abbey ale is surprisingly smooth despite its high alcohol content. Its fruity and spicy notes meld with a gentle sweetness in an elegant manner.
Even with its strong alcohol, the smooth mouthfeel makes it dangerously easy to drink, so it’s best enjoyed slowly.
메뉴에서 낯선 이름을 만나면 스타일, 표시 도수, 주요 원재료, 양조장의 향미 설명을 순서대로 확인하세요. 작은 잔이나 샘플러가 가능하면 한 번에 많은 양을 주문하기보다 두세 스타일을 비교하는 편이 효과적입니다. 취향은 쓴맛의 강약만으로 결정되지 않으며 향, 산미, 단맛, 질감과 음식의 영향까지 함께 달라집니다. 음주량을 관리하고 운전 예정이 있다면 마시지 않아야 합니다.
