Busan beer bar in Seomyeon with a ₩30,000 0.9mm glass: Ganppa Beer

I ordered a beer at Ganppa Beer Seomyeon Hyeongje Branch, and the staff first asked me to please handle the glass gently. The sign in front of the bar said it was a 0.9mm glass blown by a craftsman, and that the glass is priced at ₩30,000. My strongest first impression: this is a place that cares about the glass as much as the draft beer itself.

The staff explained everything, from the glass to the differences between Sapporo and Ebisu, which made drinking my order far more fun than just sipping away. The storefront stands out right away in the alley near Seomyeon Station.

What is Ganppa Beer Seomyeon Hyeongje Branch like?

Ganppa Beer Seomyeon Hyeongje Branch is a Japanese-style standing draft beer bar close to Exit 6 of Seomyeon Station. You can watch the beer being poured right at the bar, and the mood suits having a glass or two each of Sapporo and Ebisu to compare.

Prices and opening hours are as checked online on October 15, 2026. It's safest to check the latest info on Naver Map before you go. Below is the notice about the 0.9mm glass that was actually sitting in the bar.

Why is the 0.9mm glass at Ganppa Beer ₩30,000?

The notice at Ganppa Beer Seomyeon Hyeongje Branch said the glass is 0.9mm thick and costs ₩30,000. Once the beer was in it, the clear color and the dense layer of foam were obvious at a glance, so it was fun to look at even before the first sip.

The bar also presents the glass separately and explains how the draft is poured, which made each glass feel more distinct. The pouring itself was part of the show here.

There are taps where you can compare Sapporo and Ebisu in one spot, and the tight foam rising above the glass is a treat to watch.

Sapporo vs Ebisu draft beer: worth trying both?

I didn't write down what the staff told me on the spot, so I won't try to reproduce the details. Instead, I've summed up the differences based on the official explanation from the maker, Sapporo Brewery.

What I can say for sure is that both Sapporo and Ebisu were delicious. Sapporo was a refreshing way to start the first glass, while Ebisu had a bit of a deeper flavor to enjoy. After hearing the explanation and alternating between them, the different charms came through even more.

The Sapporo draft with its thick layer of foam was impressive too. If it's your first visit, ordering one of each and comparing is the surest way.

Is fried chicken skin a good snack at Ganppa Beer?

The snack I paired with the beer this time was fried chicken skin: crispy fried chicken skin served with cabbage and sauce.

The crunch made it easy to grab a piece between sips of draft, and with the cabbage and sauce I kept reaching for more. For a casual drink, this one plate alone was a satisfying match.

Who should visit Ganppa Beer Seomyeon Hyeongje Branch?

• People in Seomyeon who want just a glass or two of draft beer after a meal
• People who want to compare Sapporo and Ebisu side by side
• People who enjoy watching the pour and hearing the staff's explanation
• People who prefer a standing-bar vibe over sitting for hours

If it's your first time at Ganppa Beer Seomyeon Hyeongje Branch, I recommend ordering one Sapporo and one Ebisu. The "₩30,000 glass" line catches your eye first, but what I actually remembered was the dense foam, the staff's explanations, and the time spent happily comparing two different draft beers. The interior is packed with handwriting and drawings.
