      Also stupidly easy and simple to make. No fucking with grains, mash, stills, or whatever yuppie small-batch craft beer snobs use to make their bitter-ass hop juice.

      That and makgeolli are alcoholic drinks of the proletariat.

        makgeolli

        I don't know a whole lot about that except what they say in this video. It looks similar to sake but the koji is grown on wheat instead of rice? One of my old co-workers made his own sake and said it was fairly labor-intensive compared to making beer.

        Palm wine is the laziest way to make alcohol, it's basically just tree sap that ferments spontaneously

          From what my family over in Korea told me, it's basically fermented rice.

          Like it's just a certain species of rice, water, and some yeast to make the stuff.

          When I was over in Korea, I've had plenty of it and fucking loved drinking it. It's lighter than light beer but had more flavor than it, and it's one of the most traditional beverages of Korea that's still popular today.

            Sake is a type of rice wine, it isn't distilled. Maybe you're thinking of soju/shochu?
