In search for the best pint!
The beer industry is a thriving one in South Korea. We see it in K-dramas. Beer plays a part in the social lives of most South Koreans. It’s almost always present during celebrations and even during down moments. They drink it after work, and they drink it during dinner. Seeing Koreans gulp on their beers is such an enticingly comforting habit that Filipinos adopted Korea’s famed beer cocktail with soju. But for sure, you’ve been wondering how good other Korean beers taste like too. So if you’re in Seoul city, here’s where you can spend a happy hour.
