Platinum microbrewery in Apujeong
Back in Seoul, Andre and I explored a few other microbreweries but were less than thrilled with the quality of products. I think to be fair, we both prefer a variety of light, medium and full bodied selections but those we have come across so far were but light and had weakly [...]
