Good beer is hard to come by in South Korea. Imported beer is expensive for obvious reasons. What I dont understand is why they import bad beer like Bud Ice. Bud Ice is a joke in the United States. In Korea, as you can see, it cost 2680W($2.00). Its no wonders that the rest of the world thinks US beer is a joke, they import the wrong ones. Native Korean beers are drinkable but not the best. The two main beers are Hite and Cass. They are both high gravity beers, meaning they have more then 5% alcohol by volume. They dont sell cases of beer because you have to pay a deposit on all the cans so instead Hite and Cass are marketed in 1600ml bottles which they call pitchers. The pitchers are roughtly half a gallon of beer and cost around 4500W($4.00).
