I, for one, drink Tamra Ale!

The history and origins of beer

Beer is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in human history. It is believed to have originated in the Mesopotamian region around 5,000 BC. The ancient Sumerians documented the recipe for beer, and the art of brewing evolved through the Egyptian and Roman periods. In medieval Europe, beer was brewed in monasteries, using a variety of ingredients and methods to improve the quality and flavor of the beer. Germany and Belgium in particular became centers of brewing, developing a wide variety of beers. If I were to travel to Europe, I would definitely put a monastic beer tour in Europe on my bucket list.

Types of beer

India Pale Ale (IPA)

An IPA is a beer characterized by a strong hop aroma and bitterness, often with fruity or floral flavors. It was developed in the 18th century in England for export to India, and is characterized by the high use of hops to increase preservation.

Pale Ale

Pale Ale is a light golden-colored beer with a good balance of hops and malt, originating in England, and is the predecessor to the IPA.

Stout

Stout is a beer that is dark black in color and has a strong taste and aroma of roasted malt. It often has flavors of coffee or chocolate. It originated in Ireland and the UK, with Guinness being the most famous example. I remember drinking a lot of Guinness, especially the cans with beads in them.

Porter

Porter is a dark brown beer with a malt sweetness and roasted flavor. It has a slightly lighter flavor than a stout and is said to have been first brewed in London in the 18th century.

Wheat Beer (Wheat Beer)

Wheat Beer is a beer made from wheat, with a light, cloudy color, fruity flavor, and a slight sourness. Germany and Belgium are the most common producers.

Tamra Ale

Tamraeil is a brewery that represents Jeju Island's unique craft beer culture. When I look at the interior of Tamraeil's brewery, I feel that the boss of Tamraeil must have put his soul into it. I wouldn't be able to make something like that without risking my life.

Tamrail is known for its creative beers that utilize local specialties. As someone who has absolute taste, at least when it comes to beer, I'd like to share my experience with you.

Tamna Wit Ale (Tamna Wit Ale)

Tamra Wit Ale is a wheat beer made with Jeju citrus, with a refreshing citrus flavor and smooth wheat taste. It's a great summer beer.

Tamna IPA (Tamna IPA)

Tamra IPA is a hoppy, India Pale Ale with a fruity and floral aroma. The first impression is crisp and aromatic. As you gently slide it down your throat, you'll notice the rich hoppy flavor that comes from the malt.

Tamna Porter

Tamra Porter is a dark brown beer with roasted malt flavors and notes of coffee and chocolate. It's a smooth, deeply flavored beer.

Tamra Ale captures the nature and culture of Jeju Island in a beer. Tamra Ale is Jeju's representative craft beer that you must try if you visit Jeju. We highly recommend you to understand the history and origin of the beer and experience the various charms of the beer while enjoying Tamra Ale with the characteristics of Jeju Island.

The first sensation is an aromatic taste on the tip of your tongue. As you swallow, this rich chocolate flavor fills your mouth. It's like a fullness, like it's filling you up. After the swallow, there's a strong smoky flavor that envelops the entire mouth. This is the best beer I've ever had in my life.

The difference between commercial and craft beer

   • Craft beer is produced in small batches by small breweries, and each individual brewery has its own unique characteristics.

   • Craft beer is all about quality, using premium ingredients and adopting unique recipes.
3. Flavor and variety

How tasteless would beer be if it didn't have any flavor? I'd rather have a Coke than a beer with no personality. Craft beer is popular with beer lovers because of these differences, and it's very satisfying for those who want to find their own unique flavors and aromas.
