Anyone remember Sapporo Dark? That was alright.

Also the Hitachino beers while not outstanding, were servicable enough.

They still have Sapporo Dark.
Much more popular in Hokkaido.

I never had Sapporo Dark. I did have kirin dark and kirin's hefeweizen. both were good but were higher than import prices so...when it came to 350 yen for a kirin wheat beer and 280 for a bass pale ale, you can guess which i picked.

My fave is OB as it has the best taste.

Next is Cass. It has the worst taste 9that weird metaliccy taste) but gets you the most pissed.

Last is Hite. Taste not as good as OB, but better than Cass. Too weak and doesn't get you pissed enough

Stout/Cafri are the Korean beers of choice...
Cass Red is the get drunk faster cheaper beer...
I drink the 2x beer if I need to socially drink, but don't feel well.

Cass Lemon is the current 'love' in my life.

If that is out of stock - then Hite it is.

And ANY beer out of a can is just disgusting. I may not be able to tell the difference between certain beers - but I CAN tell the difference between bottle vs can. Ick.

Ahhh but Malt Liquor out of the can....
In the complete opposite direction some Steel Reserve or a Mickey's would hit the spot from time to time.

And this just dawned on me, Camo Black Ice or whatever it is tastes like Beer and Soju mixed together- awful but you know it's working.

In order of least disgusting to most disgusting,

Korean beer tastes like...

1: Shite
2: Ass
3: BO

I need some t-shirts with these logos.

Korean beer I will drink = Cafri (w/ a lemon wedge) or Stout.

In Korea, glass bottles are the cheapest and most common and cans are slightly more expensive. The plastic bottles seem to be making headway, though - and I'd say that's the worst of the lot.

In Japan, I swear 95% of the market is cans. I only commonly saw glass bottles served at restaurants.

Wonder why this is.

I usually prefer a glass bottle, but with crap beer it doesn't really matter. The slight metallic taste of a can might actually improve the flavor.

A few years back a local non-drinking No Rae Bang had a stock of non-alcoholic Hite, it was called "Hate" I kid you not. I wish I had bought a couple of cans of Hate just for novelty's sake, I can't find it anywhere anymore.

My order (without the taste test):
1. Hite
2. OB
3. Cass

It's been a couple of years since I last had an OB though, it's not as common in the middle of the country I guess. I've sworn off Cass entirely, vile filth.
