Jeju Beer Company ‘Chi-eers! Chicken Ale’ Review Chi-eers! Chicken beer anyone? I had chicken for dinner tonight and thought it would be a great opportunity to try this Jeju Beer Company Chi-eers!

Beer Highlight by PCBS: Jin Lager
About the Jin Lager The Jin Lager is a collaboration between Amazing Brewing Company and Ottogi, a classic food brand similar to Campbell’s Soup in North America. Ottogi makes a ramyun call Jin, which was the inspiration for this brew. The food company collaborations are interesting, especially with Ottogi, which I mainly know for ramyun and curry. On the front of the can, it says 순한맛, which means “strong taste.” Jin Lager Tasting Notes I didn’t taste the ramyun inspiration, but there definitely was a strong malty taste! The beer…
