You had me at better than normal Hite.
I'll take it, but i havent seen it at any local stores. I guess for now it's only at the big stores...in which case I'll just spring for Oettinger or Von Raven or whatever. |
I bought it at my local GS25. |

I'm in Changwon too, and it is all over the place now. I wish they had the oxygen soju, like they did in Daejeon the last time I was there.
EDIT: Oh yea, I don't like the Hite Dry, either. |

I bought Cass Lite from one of those girls. I'm a straight girl, but she was so cute. Plus, it came with free chips. I still have 3 cans left in my fridge if anyone wants them... |

Sigh, I was totally on the MAX train for a while there. Decanted from the 600ml bottles, it almost seemed drinkable. I ruined that by drinking one Sam Adams at a GS Mart.
MAX just tastes like piss-weak ditch water now. |

I tried a new(?) Cass "Light" the other day at a Lotte Mart and it was pretty refreshing, but it was "light" (so that may mean "weak" to some).  |

I'm pretty sure that it's hard to get decent beer for cheapers due to the tarriffs placed on foreign goods here...

German beer in a can from E-mart or Homeplus (Oettinger, Von Raven, 5,0, etc etc) is cheaper than canned Korean beer and the same price as bottled Korean beer from a convenience store.
They must get around some of the tariffs or something. |

i tried it, tastes a little european in it's style, a bit Heinekin/Oranjeboom very Dutch, still a bit crap as there is more gas than there needs to be.
I have been here for 3 years, and when i first got here there was a beer called Prime (not Prime Max) and it was dark in colour, malty in flavour, and less gassy than the other beers. I really liked it (maybe a little too much) then one day it just vanished. Anyone else remember it? |

No, they pay the tariffs. The beer is just that cheap. Oettinger is the Busch beer of Germany. Von Raven and 5,0 are like Lucky Lager. Cheap. cheap, cheap, but still better than Korean beer. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oettinger_Beer
Oettinger uses several ways to keep beer prices low:
Oettinger does not advertise at all.
Oettinger is just one brand, other brewery groups have twenty and more brands.
Oettinger does not involve any intermediaries, brewery-owned trucks deliver directly to stores.
The brewing process is highly automated needing only few employees for brewing vast amounts of beer.
The low price has made this beer brand the most successful one in Germany with an output of 6.61 million hectoliters 2008[1].
[edit] Quality
G�nther Kollmar himself admits that his beer has not exactly the best quality (an interview translated from German):[3]
"The term cheap beer is actually almost a disqualification. But it's only an attempt. Everything that is marketed well and market adjusted in Germany, is suddenly (called) cheap. Aldi is cheap, IKEA is cheap, the Bild Newspaper is cheap, Oettinger Beer is cheap. Nobody wants it. Yes, it's dishwater! But everybody drinks it. (Our) success proves us right."
and he adds with an allusion to advertisements from his competitors Beck's and Licher:
"Everytime when your TV program has become interesting to a degree, you see the ship or the commercial or some kingfisher. We have a low opinion of that." |
