Imagine you are teleported to a typical Korean convenience store right now, and this is the selection. What are you most likely to reach for? Bonus points for indicating the container, size, and average price.
(Please note I didn't want to merge some of these, but there is a limit to how many poll options are possible.) |

| Some 7-11 stores are stocking imported German beers for 2,400 per can. Easily the best lager in the store. |

OB Golden Lager 12oz (355ml) can 1,500 Won. My staple.
I've always preferred cans over bottles. It's a quirk of mine that extends to colas and all beverages.
Back in the States I drank Labatt Blue, I think it's the closest.

Yep this. My local 711 has these. The lager isn't great, but the wheat and stout are fairly good considering the price. |

| 7-Eleven usually carries the WA-BAR DUNKEL in a black, or silver can. It's delicious. |

The same beer is 1,500 in Emart and for 2,500 you can get lovely pilsners. |

| I'm a beer snob so I don't like most of the beers in marts. I usually go for a Smithwicks. |

Yes, sir... I understand most people don't have easy access to it, but the Yongsan E-mart has a great selection and great prices on quality imported beer. The Family Mart/CU Mart used to have great Friday deals on most of their imported beer, but, unfortunately, I think that ended a number of months ago. I'm more of a wine guy myself, but with the overpriced beer here, if I want to go down that road, I usually just take a Hite dry finish. 2k at the mom and pop mart. It goes without saying that just about all Korean beer is crap, though. And I enjoy my occasional trip to some of the microbrew places around Itaewon. |

| I was drinking Hite regular exclusively for most of this contract, but have been buying Hite Dry Finish occasionally lately. I'm a big fan of Hite. |

Corona 
Really! I'm probably the odd person on board but for me nothing beats the taste of a Corona. |

Hey, I'll take Corona too. Great beer in hot balmy weather. Might would make a different choice in winter. |
