BEOPJU

'Beopju' is a traditional Korean rice liquor, of the ''cheongju'' family of liquors. It is made chiefly from glutinous rice, and has an alcohol content of about 15%.
''Beopju'' first appears in historical records in the Goryeo Dynasty (936-1392). The name literally means "law liquor," and refers to its being made in accordance with fixed procedures. ^[1]
Today, it is associated with Gyodong in Gyeongju, where the Gyeongju Choe clan brew a particularly famous variety; this Gyeongju Gyodong Beopju is designated by the government of South Korea as Important Intangible Cultural Property No. 86-3.[1]
