Korean beer — Paris

Korean beer belongs to a specific family: pale, light lagers with little bitterness, built not to be drunk on their own but to stand up to something fatty or spicy. Cass, Kloud, Terra, Gangnam — the names that recur on Paris menus — all play that role. It is the principle behind chimaek, the fried-chicken-and-beer pairing, and behind somaek, the beer-and-soju mix people make at the table. This page gathers the addresses in Paris that carry at least one on the list. Two practical notes: a Korean beer in a 330ml bottle usually runs between €5 and €7, and several houses line up Japanese beers beside them, which have neither the same profile nor the same purpose.
