The milkshake has versions has both alcohol and non-alcoholic versions, both at the price of 6,800KRW each.
Jipyeong Brewery is a national cultural heritage, and has a long, storied history. It is one of the oldest breweries in Korea, producing makgeolli since 1925, and was once used as the headquarters of UN forces during the Korean War (1950 – 1953), being the only undestroyed building in the area.
