As the girl boss brewer at Yunguna, Emilie spends most of her time with her “head in a tank full of rice at the brewery in Nordhavn,” but Emilie is taking a break to join The Hungries for a guided sool tasting at Propaganda. The Korean restaurant Propaganda is a collaboration between Italian natural wine pusher Riccardo Marcon of Barabba and Korean-born chef Youra Kim. The event includes a full set menu dinner at Propaganda, put together specially for The Hungries, paired with sool from Yunguna Brewery. Grab a spot on the Discord forum!
