Craftroo Sokcho Beer 크래프트루 속초맥주 craftroo sokchobeer

Exposed rafters and roof tiles frame this small hanok pub in Ikseon-dong, where Sokcho brewery Craft Root pours beers named after places in that East Coast port city. Sokcho IPA leads with fruit and finishes bitter, while Daepohang Stout leans toward coffee and chocolate. Dongmyeonghang Pale Ale is the light, tangy pour and Gaetbae Pilsner the crisp one, and the beer sampler lets you try several in small glasses. The room is compact, so weekend evenings can bring a wait. Food runs Italian: chewy-crust pizza, gambas al ajillo and pasta.
