Sip Korean Craft Alcohol at New Bahru this April – with tastings, workshops, and a lineup of Korean brands

Singapore’s about to get a proper introduction to Korea’s craft alcohol scene – Sool Cellar presents Korean Craft Collective, a two-day deep dive into Korea’s evolving craft alcohol scene, will take place on April 25 and 26 at New Bahru’s School Hall, bringing with it a tightly curated mix of brewers, distillers, fermentation specialists, and creative brands. 

Expect complimentary tastings across a wide spectrum of styles – from bright, sparkling brews to fruit-forward and umami-rich rice wines, with plenty of opportunity to chat directly with the people behind the bottles

Holding down the food front is Odem, Singapore’s first craft makgeolli bar, serving up a menu built specifically for the event. Its crowd-favourite brioche with gamtae seaweed butter will make a return, joined by a lineup of event-only dishes created to pair with the drinks.

For those keen to go beyond tasting, Johnny Kyung Hwo – a Korean chef, fermentation specialist, and content creator known for his experimental approach to traditional brewing – will be hosting daily workshops centred on his “Alt Makgeolli” approach – a slightly unconventional take on Korea’s classic rice brew. Expect small-batch tastings, practical techniques, and a few clever shortcuts that make fermentation feel a lot less intimidating. Each 60-minute session (held at 3pm on both days) is capped at 20 participants and priced at $18, with entry to the Collective included, plus a recipe card, rice pack, and probiotics to kickstart your own home-brewing experiments. 

The market will also offer a lineup beyond alcohol. South Korean-founded tattoo studio Hansan Studio will be running a tattoo pop-up featuring its signature fine-line Korean designs, while Korean brands like Tomorrow’s Table and Mmhs round things out with fermented foods, snacks, and beauty offerings.

The Korean Craft Collective in Singapore will be open from 12 to 9pm from April 25 to 26 2026 at New Bahru School Hall, 46 Kim Yam Road, Singapore 239351.
