North Korea claims to have developed a new brewing technique that replaces traditional barley with wheat, for a “richer and more flavourful” wheat beer.

Produced out of the Taedong River Beer Factory, the wheat beer is described as cloudier than barley-based beers, sweet, with a unique fragrance, and better foaming properties.
