The Cass Lager is a fairly new product being introduced in 1994, the brewers The Oriental Brewing company use a 100% non pasteurized brewing process to produce this drop.  The company is run by InBev which owns huge products like Stella and have just about half of the Korean market.  The Cass Lager is not usually found outside Asia, but some specialty stores do stock it, and is well worth picking up a few when you see them.
