Chef Jae Lee recommends light and refreshing beers to balance the rich flavors of Korean barbecue, stating that anything light will do the job. He also suggests that a light beverage helps in avoiding a heavy feeling during the meal.
Danny Kim agrees with Lee's beer choice, adding that mixing light beer with soju to make a cocktail called somaek is a prevalent choice among Koreans enjoying Korean barbecue, with a typical ratio of 30% soju and 70% beer.
Light lagers are a great option for Korean barbecue due to their slight bitterness that complements the food's sweetness. These highly carbonated beers offer a refreshing experience. Pale ales, though stronger, still provide a crisp taste with malted, bitter, and fruity notes.
