Episode Synopsis
Erik Moynihan is the co-founder and CEO of Magpie Brewing Company, established in 2012. Born in Canada, he first came to Korea on a working holiday and later settled in Seoul, where he opened Magpie in Itaewon and Haebangchon as a community-centered beer space, becoming one of the pioneers of Korea’s craft beer movement. After founding the Jeju brewery in 2016, he relocated to the island with his family in 2023. He now lives in the village of Donghoecheon, enjoying a life close to nature with his two children, pets, and chickens. Erik describes Magpie as “a space for making and sharing together,” embracing an open culture where music, art, and food connect people. His signature Pale Ale remains one of Magpie’s most beloved and iconic beers. Looking ahead, he hopes to continue building a beer culture rooted in creativity, community, and harmony with Jeju’s natural environment.
