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 Question ).

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. Crying or Very sad

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
