None. Really. Thx to god, or whatever, that they've finally got some half-decent imports and local homebrews at somewhat reasonable prices finally.

The only Korean beer I like is 7Brau.

Probably Hite Stout, though it's not stout really. It's just a slightly less foul, darker colored Hite. If I've got the choice though, I'd rather one of the local makoli brands that doesn't use aspartame. Seotae Makoli is particularly good.

My favorite beer is the cheapest one.

Capri is decent. Drinkable and at least a little tasty.

Dry Finish is decent.

Just found this on Wikipedia, interesting to know:

The Economist magazine wrote an article criticizing South Korean beers are boring and worse than North's Taedonggang Beer which is made with equipment imported from Britain. The magazine blamed "some South Korean beers skimp on barley malt, using the likes of rice in its place or others are full of corn." It said the problem was caused by that the national market is a cramped duopoly, Hite-Jinro and Oriental Brewery (OB) and as a result, microbreweries are prevented to enter the market.[3] South Korean beer companies denied the allegations saying, "Most (South) Korean beers contain more than 70 percent malt, and some including Hite Max of Hite and OB Golden Lager of OB contain 100 percent malt. Rice and corn are not cheaper than malt, and these grains are used in the mixture to generate a mild taste." Despite the angry reactions by the South Korean breweries, many South Korea beer drinkers complain about the taste of domestic beer.[4]
