North Korean authorities have canceled the second in the history of the country beer festival. This was reported by travel Agency Koryo Tours, based in China and arranging tours to the DPRK.
As explained by the representatives of the organization, we are talking about the festival “daedong”, which was scheduled for August. The event could provide travelers the opportunity not only to try North Korean beer, but also to communicate with local residents, said Koryo Tours.
The reasons for the failure of the “Telangana” is unknown. Koryo Tours staff do not expect that Pyongyang will explain this decision. They suggest that this is due to the prolonged drought in North Korea, which became very strong over the last 16 years.
In August 2016, the North Korean authorities organized the first in the history of the country beer festival. It took place at the floating restaurant in Pyongyang. A festival of 20 days was visited by over 800 people.
