New England Styled IPA Hopsplash from Playground Brewery |
With The Booth, Amazing Brewery and Magpie brewing all getting on the New England IPA bandwagon, Playground Brewery had its own Hopsplash to offer this year. Really good nose, hoppy notes in the beginning with a slight sweet finish at the end. I have to say, Korean craft breweries are really hitting the sweat spot these days. The only problem, like Bill likes to say it, "is the consistency."

Ticket pricing: I had no clue about the early bird tickets. Yet for three Korean craft beer tickets with an additional three foreign beers of your choosing, the ticket was KRW 34,000. Which translates roughly to be around KRW 5000 per glass. Beer is not a cheap hobby, let me tell you that. However, given that you get to choose any beer regardless, it's still a good deal.
