Korean’s can now have a taste of Croatia under the market slogan, “Croatian beer froths up in the Korean market,” as from last week in South Korea, Croatia’s very own Ožujsko beer can be purchased.

The liquor importer CKB will be pushing out 4 kinds of Ožujsko to the Korean market, of which two will be lagers and two will be the sweet fruit-flavors (Radler lemon and grapefruit). The lager-style Ožujsko has 5% alcohol content and the fruit-flavored types hold only 2%, assures the Korean portal.

“Ožujsko is the top-selling beer in the European country, with a 40% market share,” said the statement by CKB, the liquor importer of Ožujsko in Korea.

You can now find the popular Croatian Ožujsko available in all major retail chains in South Korea, and a 330-milliliter bottle will cost 2,300 won (around 14 kuna), while a 550-milliliter can will cost 2,500 won (around 15 kuna) at big malls across the country.

Is Ožujsko's entry into South Korea a smart move?
