몽트비어(MontBeer)
MontBeer is a craft brewery and pub in Nohak-dong, Sokcho, where beer is brewed on the first floor and served directly on the second — a tank-to-glass setup that delivers freshness no distribution chain can match. The lineup spans IPA, sour ales, stout, and seasonal releases, with tropical-fruit-forward IPAs and sour beers earning particular acclaim among craft beer enthusiasts, some of whom drive ninety minutes specifically for this destination. A sampler flight of four or more varieties allows tasting across styles to identify personal preferences, and bottles are sold for takeaway, giving designated drivers a way to bring the experience home. Purchasing directly from the brewery is cheaper than buying the same bottles at nearby E-Mart or Sokcho Central Market. The second-floor pub is intimate rather than spacious, creating a comfortable setting for quiet conversation over a glass, with complimentary popcorn as a starter. The food menu is focused rather than extensive, built around items that pair well with beer, and a weekend-only barbecue platter delivers a well-composed spread of grilled items. Seasonal limited-edition beers appear regularly — the white peach sour, for example, has drawn dedicated return visits from fans of the style. The location is remote, making a car essential for access, and calling a designated driver service from the area is not straightforward. Walking from Hanwha Resort Sorano is one practical alternative — the annex is five to ten minutes on foot, though the main building is far enough to warrant a taxi. Checking availability before visiting is recommended, as the pub's compact size means seating can fill up without warning.
