Online Consulting Services
Each client and project is unique, whether you are starting a small brewery or a large scale operation with a tap-room. My services can be as simple as giving guidance on an existing project, to being as involved as designing recipes and building brewing facilities. Below are some of the key areas of service available in all consulting programs.
Brewing Education
Whether you have some brewing experience or simply have an idea you want to see materialize, I offer comprehensive brewing training. Brewing for a business is vastly different from a hobby, so no matter the project we spend significant time building the skills to produce high-quality sool.
Commercial Operations
From brewery layout & design, aging bottling techniques, product and resource managment, ABV testing and commercial brewery data collection, we will cover all aspects of what it takes to run a sool brewery whether your intention is to make makgeolli, yakju or soju.
Industry Insights
With over 13 years experience in the sool industry both in Korea and internationaly, I have a wealth of resources to give context to commercial brewing such as marketing, product development, pricing strategies and market creation.
Equipment Sourcing
Korean alcohol brewing has different needs than other alcohols for commercial brewing. There are many choices when it comes to equipment depending on budget and brewery size, which we are able to assist with sourcing from suppliers in Korea.

Product Benchmarking
There a hundreds of high-quality sools produced locally, from creative infusions, traditional rice techniques and well crafted distilled sojus. We work with you to curate a tasting of products for inspiration or benchmarking to see what is possible in the world of Korean alcohol.
Private Tours
Sool and how it is enjoyed is an essential consideration in the context of commercial brewing. We tailor sool dining experiences with this perspective in mind, giving a snapshot of how sool can translate into the F&B industry. We also arrange visits to sool breweries using our network of trusted partners.
