Busan Craft Beer Masters Challenge

The Busan Craft Beer Masters Challenge is a city-center craft beer festival that spreads Busan's craft beer culture and energizes the local economy by connecting breweries from across the country with consumers. Distinctive breweries from nationwide and local breweries representing Busan gather in one place to pour beers of every style, and visitors can taste a wide range of brews firsthand and experience the charm of craft beer. At the heart of the festival is the Masters Challenge, which crowns the best craft beer: breweries pit their skill and the finish of their beers against one another under a professional judging panel, and the contest running from preliminaries through semifinals to the finals adds tension and fun to the festival. There is also a beer market featuring each brewery's signature brews, hands-on sessions with hops and malt, the raw ingredients of beer, plus make-your-own-beer and DIY beer-glass activities, all easy and entertaining content for anyone. Add varied food pairings, busking and DJ sets, and audience participation events, and the festivities run from afternoon into night; in the evening, a beer night where music and brews meet gives visitors a space to mingle freely and share the heat of the festival. More than a festival for drinking beer, the Busan Craft Beer Masters Challenge is a leading beer-culture festival where you experience Busan's craft beer culture anew by tasting, trying, competing, and enjoying.
