Budnamu Brewery

Top choice in Gangneung


This splendid craft beer house is a superb place to immerse yourself in a world of beery flavour: try a Zeumeu Blanc – delightful and slightly zingy, with a touch of banana flavour – or a Baegilhong Red Ale, with darker tones, or a full-bodied Ojook Stout. The whole menu's a treasure trove for ale fiends.
