Of all the stuff you can actually get here fairly easily, what do you think is the best?
I vote Pilsner Urquell, or the Becks tallcans they sell at 7-11. |

Leffe Blonde. Mmmm. I just love Belgian-style beers. Any of you ever tried stuff made by Unibroue from Quebec? Yummy.

Like any fine beer should. Ever tried Innis and Gunn's oak-aged ale? Give it a try if you ever come across it. It's quite good.

Whay is this subject the domain of so many replies that demonstrate appalling taste? The poll is pretty poorly-set up to begin with...why not divide the choices into bottled/canned beer and draught beer...? Either way, the choices offered are pretty limited.
The BEST beer in Korea right now is draught ALLEY KAT PALE ALE, available at hostelries dispensing REAL libations...even Big Rock these days isn't that good (I guess that's what happens when you hire a Molson's brewmaster to try and get into the 'mainstream market'...), and Platinum's options are hit or miss; sometimes OK, sometimes not...no consistency. Castle Praha's Pilsener's not bad; most of the other microbrew stuff here is fair to middling at best, except for KAPA's Pilsener in Ilsan... good stuff.
As for the other choices mentioned, I must ask whether or not many/most of the respondents have even tried to see what is available here...if you're a bottled/canned beer lover, then you've got some good choices available...if you're a real ale/draught lover, less so!
Regardless, all it takes is an open mind, good taste and a willingness to get out and look...hope you'll take the opportunity to expand your collective quaffing horizons sooner rather than later... |

| I think the best easily available beer in Korea is Duvel. It's at all the bigbox stores. As for super easily available beer, I like XXXX. Some people hate it, but I dig it. |

Too fruity. I, as a card-carrying homosexual, should know. |

Given the situation, I voted for Pilsner Urquell as well. My only complaint with Urquell in a bottle is that, like most beers, bottled Urquell doesn't hold a candle to Urquell on tap. Granted, that has little (if anything) to do with the poll, but you get the idea. |
