I drank with some younglings tonight and even they admit that Korean beer (which they were quaffing!) makes them feel like ass warmed over. Why punish yourself?
Shindoboly! Leave Korean things to the Koreans!! |

I agree with Darl on thread page 7 and came to the same conclusion (Budweiser is the best, cheap beer in Korea) a few weeks ago. It's not great, but it's not offensively suspect like Hite, OB, etc that swill.
If you go to Homeplus you can get North Korean beer that's cheap and made with equipment NK got from the UK. It's a world class beer South Korea ought to have, but doesn't (for some strange reason  ).

| Could the low-quality beer, not the kimchi, be the cause of the increased stomach cancer rate in Korea? |

It comes in an ultra-slim bottle with a picture of a gulag on the label. |

| Yeah, I've got an allergy to bad beer, too. That's why I pony up for the better brew, such as Krombacher, Beck's, or Guinness, because (that's right, folks) they are nothing to sneeze at. |

North korean beer...yum.Must hunt it out.Pyoungyang soju was pretty good.
I can't believe the truly direst douchebag swill that is (S)hite Ex-Feel hasn't been brought up.Follow that up with a Cafri.Then the old-styled soju in the clear bottle.
Then try to say all is well with the world on your first day in Korea.
First korean hagover.......bad times,bad times.  |

anyone know where I can get shedload of franziskaner?
would murder a few bottles of it right now,
to be sitting on my balcony sneering at chavs, leering at ladies...
sun in the sky mates frazzling the bejaysus outta pigs, poultry and moo-cows , talk of gambling coups and a peterpan summer lifestyle
Paulaner woud do the job too.
Budweiser is not a beer. The luftwafflers culture was excreted on when fifa gave them the world cup to as s burgal.
No surprise bud is cheap seeing as it does n't use the correct ingredients to be called a beer- made from rice for god sake
The only things in life I hate are rats, the bitter north wind and bud.
Franziskaner ?
please help |

Actually, back in the day here, you couldn't even get a beer at a "hof" that wasn't watered down. I swear I could drink a whole pitcher to myself (and I have) and I would still be completely sober. I am not a lush either, although I talk about drinking a lot apparently.
Now at least they have real beer, even if bad. |

| Man, Budweiser costs 900 per bottle, and although you purists may have things to say about it, the hangover effect is minimal compared to the Korean stuff. For the cost and minimal hangover, it is the best value here. Waste your money all you want on the overpriced snooty beer. It all tastes the same after 3-4 of them anyways. Not many of you drink more of the stuff than I do, and if you do, well then let's get together sometime, and have a larf. |
I agree with others that budweiser ain't really beer; however, I also agree with Darl that it is the closest you can get for a decent price in this wacky land. I like to drink good beer, but if I'm drinking to excess (one of my favourite pastimes), I'm doing it with Bud. I find headaches with hangovers rare, even when soju has been added.
And I find basically all of the draft beer to be for more drinkable than any of their bottled Korean beers (and I'm always drinking draft beer from different places). |

| Yeah, it seems when you go to any club or bar, Koreans there drink Bud and only Bud. I suppose it is because it is a beer one might be able to somewhat tolerate for a cheap price. |

Wanna bet?It usually goes for about 8K.
A few years back there was a German wheat beer commonly available in half litre tins for about 3k.Unfortunately I haven't seen it anymore.it's gone
Oh,for a Schneidder Weisse....... |
