Elect Row (South Korea) Vol. 3 | Page 9

ELECTROW VOLUME THREE The success that the Mission Springs Brewing Company has found in Korea didn’t come effortlessly.   While shipping costs from Vancouver to Seoul are generally affordable due to the ships being mostly empty from offloading cargo, the cost to ship the empty kegs back are quite high.  To fix this, the brewery decided to use KeyKegs.  These kegs are recyclable and easy to dispose of, which eliminates the need to ship them back.   Keeping up with local demand also required changes at the brewery itself.  According to Brock Rodgers, the other owner of the Springs Tasting Map With plans to open more pub locations and maybe even a brewery in Seoul, this is only the beginning for the Mission Springs Brewing Company and their presence in Korea.  So, next time you are out for a night on the town, stop by one of the Springs Tap Houses and grab some pizza and a few beers to start things off right.  You can check out the company’s full selection of beers on the tasting map below.
