I personally can't stand the stuff, but I drink it if I'm in a restaurant 'cause usually that's all they have. However, you'll never see Korean beer in my fridge. I don't enjoy it because it is too light and flat for me. How do you feel about Korean beer?

Beats any German or Brit beer I've ever had, and that's a fact!

Overly carbonated and too sweet. Also needs more hops.

It's lager and therefore does not count.

But it's cheap.

Definately over-carbonated but it's not as bad as some people make it out to be. It won't be exported but it's good enough here.

I think they're starting to export it (to Japan anyway) because I saw some in a liqour shop in Tokyo. I couldn't believe my eyes. I don't know who would buy Korean beer over there because Japanese beer is very tasty. Curious people or Korean students studying over there maybe.

You're absolutely right about the over-carbonation. That's what really ruins it. If they changed that and upped the alcohol content to 5%, Korean beer would be pretty good.

Korean brewpub beer is pretty good. If only someone would bottle it and distribute it. That would be great!

Korean beer is not the fermented beverage we know and love. All types of Korean "beers" are nothing more than various barley teas with soju added in . That's that.

Korean beer might not be the best out there, but it will get you to the zone. ^^ You might have to drink few pitchers more but it will get you there.

When in Korea I usually prefer Sapporo Silver Cup (even though I know it's Japanese). Two or three of those huge steel cans and... voila!
