'If you worry about it and it makes you worry less, then you won't have any worries.'
'There's not a single day that goes by that I don't love beer'
Mireuk Mireuk, which has two phrases that feel out of place at first glance, is a craft beer pub with the concept of 'Mireuk'. However, it is not just a pub. If you feel like you have come to the wrong place when you see the bath baskets and neatly folded clothes on the counter as soon as you enter, you are right. Mireuk Mireuk also operates a guesthouse. While outside food is prohibited, considering the regional characteristics of Tongyeong, it is unique in that you can only bring in raw fish and honey bread, which are the pride of Tongyeong. In addition, we will introduce three unique experiences that you can only have at Mireuk Mireuk.
First, you can taste six unique non-fermented, non-alcoholic hop sodas developed by Mireuk Mireuk. This is the 'Shameless Nat Beer' series with the slogan, 'Let's take a break regardless of time and place. Shameless.' Hops, which give beer its fragrant bitterness and subtle aroma, are combined with six ingredients selected by the company: tangerines, pine needles, strawberries, oysters, lemons, and cream cheese, to create a variety of flavors. The 'Hot Nat Beer' cocktail, made with these six ingredients as a base, is also a popular menu here. It is served with ice in a tap highball style that you can drink right away. The tangerine Nat Beer is mixed with whiskey to create a fragrant and refreshing tangerine peel aroma, and the pine needle Nat Beer is mixed with London Gin to amplify the unique aroma of pine, creating a combination that allows you to fully experience the charm of the aromas of the raw ingredients when mixed.
Second, there is MireukMireuk's own content that allows you to enjoy beer more richly and fun. There is a guide written so that you can drink one sip of beer for each meditation sentence, the 'MireukMireuk Mandala Coloring Set' where you can experience meditation by coloring paper with colored pencils on a picture of Mireuk with various heads, and the 'How are you these days? MireukMireuk Relationship Recovery Project' where you can ask and answer questions that can be thought of in pairs to get closer to each other. There is also the 'Mireuk Free Postcard Project' where MireukMireuk directly sends postcards filled with gratitude and comfort to people you think of.
Third, there is a unique experience space called the 'Room of Forgetting'. Before entering, there is a phrase written on it. 'Please enter the space and take a seat. Nothing will happen.' To make sure that nothing will happen, I lifted the uniquely patterned cloth and went in. Inside the small room that can only accommodate one person, there is a desk, and on top of it is a Buddha statue that calms the mind just by looking at it, along with paper and a pen. When I sit down at the desk, I can see the instructions for using the Room of Forgetting. It says, 'Recall unnecessary things in your head and write them down on a piece of paper, then put the paper in the gap in the middle of the desk and leave. This will soon be erased from your thoughts and heart.' Only by experiencing it myself could I understand how the secrets written on paper are forgotten and kept. If you are curious, I recommend that you experience it yourself.

Have you ever seen a bar that is this serious about its concept? Mireuk Mireuk, where you can have fun discovering Maitreya statues everywhere, has Buddha statues with Rudolph headbands and noses, Santa hats, and scarves that match the season, standing like guardian deities, and there are glass Buddha statues on the beer machines, and Maitreya statues lined up on one wall. The more you look around, the more pious you feel, but when pop music starts playing, you feel like "Ah, this is a pub." You can feel the owner's consideration in that there is a non-alcoholic soda menu so that people who don't drink can enjoy the atmosphere. In particular, the unique contents that can only be experienced at Mireuk Mireuk create a special experience that makes drinking beer more enjoyable and enriching. It's not just about drinking beer, but letting go of your worries and taking comfort.
