Taedongang beer from North Korea is good (about 2,300won a bottle in Homeplus) and stronger than what's made down south.
If you're looking for something stronger, try a bottle of wine from Homeplus or E-Mart - can't really go wrong with a wine from the new world countries between 7-10,000 won or so. I usually start with a beer or some wine and then move on to something harder (Forever vodka - 40% and triple distilled - is a bargain at just over 5,000 won at Homeplus) if I'm in the mood. |
I second the Forever vodka from HomePlus. Mixed with grapefruit juice, it makes an excellent greyhound. The Taedong is good too, but still a little pricey. Try the WaBar brand Hefe-weizen at 2,000 won for a 500ml can.
Last time I was in Chinatown in Incheon, the 640ml bottles of Tsing-tao were going for 1,500 won. That's about the same price as Cass, OB and Hite.
Recently I found ABC Extra Stout in Dongdaemun for 1,000 won a can. If you've never had it, it's from Singapore, has 8% alcohol and tastes better than Guiness. A true bargain. |
