Daegang brewing house received an official permit for alcohol production and sales (JUPAE) in 1913 and began producing Sobaeksan Dongdongju. Later, following the 1916 announcement of the Liquor Tax Regulation by the Governor-General of Korea, the current Daegang brewing house was acquired while searching for high-quality water. Combining long-standing tradition with modern brewing techniques, Sobaeksan Dongdongju was born, earning a reputation for the finest taste and aroma in Korea and establishing itself as the representative rice wine of this region.

Sobaeksan SULDOGA(a traditional brewery that produces unrefined rice wine and sells it wholesale) and Daegang Brewing House are located at the foot of Mount Sobaeksan.

SINSEONJU(a traditional Korean rice wine from Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do, brewed with various medicinal herbs) of Sobaeksan Suldoga is a GAYANGJU (home-brewed traditional Korean rice wine) with origins dating back to the Joseon Dynasty. It was a precious medicinal rice wine traditionally brewed for the noble families of this region for ceremonial occasions such as weddings, funerals, and ancestral rites. During the Japanese colonial period, its legacy was almost lost due to the GAYANGJU prohibition], but it was magnificently revived through archival research and development. Sobaeksan SINSEONJU is brewed by infusing rare native herbs and then undergoing long-term fermentation and low-temperature aging. The result is a highly beneficial traditional rice wine with a smooth finish and a deep, rich, and impressive aroma.
