OB Beer) is a South Korean brewery currently owned by AB InBev, and initially founded by Doosan Group.
[1] In July 2009, it was sold by Anheuser-Busch InBev as the parent company sought to reduce its debt.
In March 2001, the company merged Cass Beer (State) with the production capacity of 1,120,000 KLE per year, and produced red rock, OBE, KaprI, Budweiser, etc.
In July 2002, it was the first beer industry to obtain the ISO 9001 certification from the Korea Standards Association.
Originally brewed by the Cass Brewery, the brand had been taken over by Jinro-Coors, one of the country's leading brewers.
Oriental Brewery bought the Cass brand from Jinro-Coors in 1999 and built it up again, with OB declaring a 51% market share in 2000.
In 2011 Cass Lager became South Korea's number one selling brand, overtaking Hite.
[8] The beer became notable after an endorsement by British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay who described it as "not pretentious", "easy" and "fresh"; citing it as his preferred beverage with Korean dishes since acquiring a taste for the cuisine 15 years ago.
[10][11] Non-alcoholic look-alikes of Cass can be found with brand names such as "Cars" and "Cdss".
Some noraebang (singing rooms) establishments have been known to try to pass off these imitations as the real thing, as Korean law prohibits noraebang marked as such from selling alcoholic drinks within its premises (noraejujeom establishments are allowed to sell alcohol).

Original from Suntory Holdings Limited[29] Budweiser is an American-style pale lager produced by American brewer Anheuser-Busch, which is a part of multinational corporation Anheuser–Busch InBev.
Introduced in 1876 by Carl Conrad & Co. of St. Louis, Missouri, it has grown to become one of the highest selling beers in the United States, and is available in over 80 markets worldwide—though, due to a trademark dispute, does not necessarily do so under the Budweiser name.
Produced in various breweries around the world, Budweiser is a filtered beer available in draft and packaged forms.
It is best known for an advertising campaign that involved a malevolent penguin that stalked Bud Ice drinkers and stole their beer, announcing its presence by singing the "doo-be-doo-be-doo" phrase from "Strangers in the Night".
In 2001 Interbrew agreed to buy Brauerei Beck for 1.8 billion euro; at that time it was the fourth largest brewer in Germany.
