North Korean beer ads

Launch ad campaigns, not missiles! North Korea has launched a new ad campaign for their locally brewed Taedonggang beer. The BBC has an article about it here, although I’m having trouble getting the video to play here. Maybe you’ll have better luck.

How I’d love to have a bottle of this for the ol’ collection. I’ve been to South Korea — where Taedonggang is sometimes available — but don’t recall ever seeing it. Hite seemed to be the most popular brand. Fairly mild but quite drinkable and very welcome alongside a slab of kalbi.
