 ⚠️ This article is translated from Korean into English .

Hello! For those who travel to Korea or are interested in Korean culture, I would like to introduce beer, a drink that Koreans drink a lot like water. Beer is a drink that Koreans drink easily and lightly like a drink. While soju is drunk when ordinary people are happy or sad, beer is more accessible as everyday life.

1. History of Korean Beer

Korean beer is a liquor that was influenced by Western beer culture. Beer culture has been introduced to Korea through Western adoption since the late 19th century, and beer has become popular among Koreans since then. However, Korean beer has been modified to suit the taste and preference of Korea, rather than following the traditional Western style.
