Does anybody know any pubs that sell microbrewery beer in Korea? I am most interested in Seoul or Incheon. However, let's list pubs Korea-wide as a resource for all of the teachers living throughout Korea.

Kombei.

I highly suggest that you check out "Seoul Homebrew Club" on Facebook....everything you want to know about craft beer in Seoul/Korea can be found on there.

There are a ton of better craft beer pubs than the Ka-Brew stuff you get at Craftworks.

Near Seoul Homebrew in Iteawon 3-4 microbreweries have popped up, quality is decent at the one in the basement above Homebrew, prices are a tad high.

Everyone knows about Craftworks and Magpies in HBC as well.

In Hyehwa/Seongbuk, 3 have popped up recently.

McDucks in Hyehwa, not so much of a microbrewery, but they do stock american microbrews and have a decent on tap selection.

SUB in Seongbuk, near hansung uni station, has a good selection of local microbrews (the IPA is really good at 5$ a glass) and some decent grub.

Fusion Pub, also in Seongbuk, has the same microbrews on tap but the prices are a bit ridiculous in my book.

If anyone is interested in directions to any of them, just let me know.

Hidden Track, near Korea University, brews about 5 beers on site. At 5,000 a pint it's a great deal.

Also Valahiem in Nowon, Taeneung, brews two German styles on site.

Craft beer bars are popping up everywhere. Craftworks and Magpie are so yesterday. The business model is being copied to death and soon all these places will be little more than glorified chicken hofs.

That's the trend. Competition and lower prices.

The two I added are breweries, in that they make beer. Something lacking and thankfully improving upon lately in Korea.

The others people are naming are selling good beer, also lacking and improving upon.

You've posted twice already and haven't added anything to the list, which is what the OP stated to do. Perhaps your lack of contribution means you shouldn't be here.

Joeteacher-
First of all, I misspelled it, so sorry aboout that.
서울 노원구 공릉로 32길 54 (공릉2동 240-19)

It's several blocks from the front gate of Seoul National University of Technology (SNUT).

They seem to pride themselves on the food rather than the 2 beers (brown ale and black ale) they serve.

Sub:

Hansung Uni Exit 1. Take the first ally to the right. SUB is a 2-3 minute walk on the right hand side, If you got the stream/river, you went too far.
