I figured China to have begun mass exporting beer to the US a long time ago.

I am trying to figure out what the target audience is for NK's beer, because no one inside the country has any money, except for the government people, and I would think they would be drinking Tsing Tao, or a Jap beer.

And no one outside of NK is going to buy this with all of the other alternatives, political hesitation aside.
 
I think the product is propaganda and the commercial is really all they want, the beer is the prop. They want to tell the people that the PRK can produce a world class beer.

I think they enjoy sending out mixed messages to the west. The country is starving for grain, so send it. Also we made beer. We are backward and weak and yet we shoot missiles that might be intercontinentally nuclear capable.
 
Yeah, the 2 1/2 minutes is a clue that it's not an ordinary commercial.
But then again, I don't watch much NK TV.
