North Korean beer is actually quite famoues when you are in South Korea. Cause some South Korean beer lovers feel ashamed that the best Korean beer comes from the North. However, these days, there are not many places anymore in Seoul that sell North Korean Taedonggang Maekju. Personally, I only know two. It tastes good.

This bar in Hongdae sells Taedonggang Beer: https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xat1/t51.2885-15/s320x320/e35/12081279_192818661051034_401514586_n.jpg

And also Powerplant near Gwanghwamun.

I think you needed and had a visa and it was probably included in the cost of the travel agent. Cause you can not handle the visa stuff by yourself. It is always done by a travel agent.

They actually traded a lot til the Kaesong Industrial Complex was closed. But now, they still trade some things.

See this for the beer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taedonggang#Availability

The wikipedia article unfortunately has no sources, but the beer still is sold. But it is quite expensive. That's right. Still cheaper than beer in a club in Gangnam...

I definitely drank Taedonggang Maekju in Seoul.
