Dokkaebier makes Korean-inspired beer, and Google lists it on 3rd Street in Oakland. Its slogan sums up the story: inspired by Korea, born in San Francisco and raised in Oakland. Youngwon Lee founded it in February 2020.
The name comes from dokkaebi, the playful, shape-shifting spirits of Korean folklore. The beers build Korean and Asian ingredients into classic styles. Expect kimchi cultures, yuza citrus, gochugaru, rice and peppercorn.
K-Beer is a light Korean rice lager. Kimchi Sour brings ginger, gochugaru and a warm chili finish, and Yuza Blonde is a bright blonde ale with yuza citrus. The Milk Stout adds cardamom and green peppercorn.
