 Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2007 1:37 am Post subject: Which Korean Beer Is Your Favourite? |
 |
|
Now, before all the naysayers come on here and go on about European beer being the best and microbreweries and what-not, I actually like Korean beer (gasp!).
Well, I guess one would if they were to drink it every day.
So, just curious, what is your poison of choice?
For me, OB Blue, but lately I have noticed that a lot of GS Marts (the best convenience store in Korea IMO) have stopped stocking the little fellas, so after OB I would choose Hite Max or Prime Max or whatever it's called.
How about the rest of you regular lushes?
(If I left any out of the poll, that is only because I am stupid.) |

Oopsy-poopsies!
Tell you what, I stay near HyeHwa. If we ever meet, I'll let you buy me a beer, how about that? I'll even be snazzy and let you buy me a Hoegaarden, that is how kind and generous and thoughtful I am. |

| On that list it would be Stout, but in Korea I'd have to say the beer brewed at Castle Praha is best by far. |

Ah, I should have clarified I guess - I meant beer that one can buy from a store. |

I can't imagine drinking OB again after I opened a pitcher last month. As I poured it into a glass, I noticed that there were many brown/black particles in the beer. I cleaned the glass, thinking that was the problem. But on closer inspection I discovered that the particles were coming from the pitcher. God knows what it was, but it can't have been good. That kind of thing has never happened to me before in any country.
These days I stick to Hite's Prime Max, although I may have a Hite or Cass if I'm particularly thirsty. I'm not willing to pay a premium for the other overrated foreign beers here, so Korean beers have to do - unless I'm at the Platinum microbrewery in Gangnam, Seoul, of course. Taedongang beer (available at Home Plus) from North Korea is good stuff. |

Particles from a pitcher would be the least of my concerns when one takes into account the unhygienic practices of Korean restaurants here.
Did you know that those places that sell cheap chicken are actually selling pigeon meat instead? Ask a Korean about it.
Did you know that the wooden sticks they use for dalkkochi are actually sticks that they just took out of the trash and used again? Ask a Korean about it.
Particles. This is not Star Trek, and you are not Dr. Bones! Never forget that, never! |

What are you talking about, my friend? Cheap chicken? I've eaten pidgeon during a cruise along the Nile in Egypt and I can assure you that real pidgeon is almost inedible due to the lack of meat on the tiny bones, and it looks nothing like chicken.
Particles all the way, my friend. |

Did you know the broth your odaeng comes in ... isn't broth. Ask a Korean about it. |

Yes but those are Saharan dehydrated pigeons. Korean pigeons are famous all over the world for their wits, street smarts, and good health. You didn't know that? It's in the Lonely Planet guide for Korea, page 1012 I believe. |

Yeah, come on dude! Ask a Korean about it! (Best line this week. Hat-tip to wo buxihuan hanguoren)
And as for the poll, everyone knows Cass Red is the cream of the shitty crop. Ask a Korean about it! |
