Editor's Convenience Store Solo Drinking Items Revealed

Eating Side Dishes to Enjoy Beer

These days, I've developed a habit of ending my day with a beer. I think it's mainly because of the weather. Even after taking a shower to wash away the sweat, the humid weather makes me sweat again quickly. So, I cool down by drinking a cold beer. Since I sweat just by moving a little, though I can't really call it cooking, I buy some snacks at a convenience store on my way home to avoid jumping into a fire pit. You can't just buy any snacks, so today I want to introduce some excellent solo drinking items that you can easily purchase at convenience stores. It’s even more perfect when paired with the editor’s recommended beers!

Microwave, I trust only you! Tteokbokki

What’s the main point? Tteokbokki! The first star solo drinking item is none other than tteokbokki. Convenience stores have a variety of their own products, and recently, collaboration tteokbokki have been released, expanding the range of choices. Spicy and savory tteokbokki is perfect for blowing away stress. If you feel burdened by carbs and beer together, I recommend pairing it with the sparkling beer Filgood. Beat the summer heat with spicy tteokbokki and refreshing sparkling beer!

When you want meat but feel lazy! Hot Bar

The second star is the even more convenient hot bar. Just tear open the packaging a little and heat it in the microwave, and you have a simple solo drinking snack ready. The sizzling sound makes you feel good for no reason, and hot bars come in various flavors, so you can choose according to your preference. The perfect beer to go with greasy hot bars is Jeju Lager from Jeju Beer. Since Jeju is famous for black pork, try pairing it with hot bars that have a high pork content. It will naturally remind you of Jeju. If you enjoy Jeju Lager and hot bars together in Jeju, it will be an even more perfect time, so make a note of it.

Taking care of health like this! Almonds

The last item is the small but precious almonds. You can enjoy both the crunchy texture and the taste. When you head to the convenience store aisle to pick almonds, the phrase “We prepared everything because we don’t know what you like!” naturally comes to mind. There are sweet honey butter & roasted corn, spicy fire chicken & wasabi, and even fruity flavors, so it often takes a long time to decide what to pick. The beer that pairs well with savory almonds is OB Beer’s new sparkling beer OMG (OB Multi Grain). It has a rich nutty aroma and is refreshing, so when paired with almonds, the nuttiness is doubled.
