 |
|
| There is a new Korean beer company called 7Brau. They make a pilsner, IPA, and a stout. I've tried the IPA and thought it was a good beer. I cost 5,500won for a glass. Thought I would let you know so you can keep an eye out for it. |

I don't see why. You can get excellent import beers in marts in Korea now.
7Brau might be as good for a while but will eventually plummet in standards like the clothing. Unless it gets notoriety internationally that is e.g. like their cosmetics, and electronics etc. |

Wow...sure didn't take long before someone crapped on what is otherwise good news that a domestic company if finally expanding into new areas in regards to beer tastes
Good beer or not...availability of import or not..the fact that a Korean company is at least TRYING to produce something other than HITE/CASS/OB/Prime...etc is excellent news for those of us who enjoy beer. This kind of thing can only end in two ways: either the company falls into oblivion, or otherwise succeeds into tapping a niche market (among Koreans) of variety in beer leading to competitors making efforts to do the same, and us the beer lovers benefit from what at a minimum will be more selection, and possibly a decent domestic brew. |

| I'll for sure try it if I see it. I live in Cheonan, so it's not that easy to get non-Cass/Hite/Max on tap anywhere here. Seoul is an entirely different matter of course. Just go to Craftworks or the Wolfhound. |

7Brau is pretty good. I prefer their Pilsner to the IPA.
Apparently, one of the owners at Craftsworks (who shall not be named, but you probably know which one) called 7Brau crap and berated a friend of mine who said "I like Craftworks beer. I like 7Brau beer also". The owner told him not to come to Craftworks again jsut because he said he liked the taste of 7Brau. |

I tried it in Beer O'clock but it is available in different places. Check the website for all the outlets.

Quoted for truth. No surprise that haters aren't happy.

That's a real dick move. The 7brau IPA is better than the Craftworks IPA. Sounds like someone is jealous. |

You can get 7Brau in Incheon now at "Cheap Shots", a foreigner owned bar near Goose Goose. Although I agree the Craftworks beer is better, 7Brau is ten times better than Cass, OB or Hite. In fact I don't think I have drunk a Korean beer in years. In my opinion they are probably close to the worst beers on the planet.
BTW, the new Bukhansan West Coast ale at Craftworks is great. |

Dillingers in Itaewon has 7Brau.
How much is 7Brau going for in other places? |

It would be awesome if koreans hopped on the microbrewing bandwagon. I have been told that each region has a special soju, but if the started making good beer....  |

I think there is a lot of Microbrew options...in Seoul at least.
Castle Praha in hongdae. Herzen in Gangnam has microbrew. I believe Big Rock also. Craftworks in Itaewon. Praha in Itaewon. Probably a bunch of other places in Seoul with their own microbrew. |

| They have it on tap at Prost/District, too. It really is cool to see more and more options popping up around the city. |

I was in E-mart last weekend and there is a new brand of Hite as well!
It's called S-hite
It's like Cass Red, stronger than normal.
Logical, Strong hite - lets call it S-hite! 
Ask for it by name! |
