Recently the International Beer Competition was held in Australia.
http://www.beerawards.com

Entries were received from around the world, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Romania.. too many countries to mention.
No entries from Korea.
I wonder why?
Maybe, just maybe, it might have something to do with reviews such as these:
"Pale yellow colour, no head. Aroma is weak cooked rice, almost non-existant. Flavour is rice and grain. An extremely boring product.... I don't even know what to say more. "

Was in Australia a few years ago. In Australia there is a fantastic array of beer, walk into the Korean mini mart, and there's Hite. Why?

It's like going into a bar in Pataya that's full of babes, and one pig, and taking the pig home. Duh!

Anyway one of the best beers was from New Zealand.

Isn't the real point to forget what tastes good to YOU...and what you have been told tastes good to you, and vote for the label from your own country?

I've seen many buy soju in the US, where it's $15/bottle.

My vote would be for Tiger Beer from Singapore, which was available at some rare( but oh so fine ) places in the ROK, at least when I left 2 1/2 years ago. I regret that I cannot buy it in Canada, where our beers are no slouches.

ahaha I'm reading this from a bar on Portland with a nice little beer list and all I could do is laugh
