Kimchi Sour: A Flavorful Journey in Every Sip

Kimchi Sour is Dokkaebier’s boldest creation—a tart, spicy, and refreshing craft beer that blends traditional Korean flavors with modern brewing techniques. Brewed with gochugaru (Korean sun-dried chili peppers) and saenggang (ginger), this beer delivers a unique, palate-refreshing experience that stands out in the world of craft beers.

Kimchi is a cornerstone of Korean cuisine, known for its fermented, tangy, and spicy profile. Made from vegetables like napa cabbage or radish, and fermented with garlic, ginger, and chili, kimchi offers a complex flavor that has captivated food lovers worldwide. It’s not only rich in flavor but also packed with probiotics and health benefits.

At Dokkaebier, we’re all about innovation and pushing boundaries. The Kimchi Sour was born from that desire. We wanted to bring the flavors of traditional Korean cuisine—like kimchi—into the craft beer world in a way that feels exciting and refreshing. Originally brewed as Batch 17 during our experimental phase, this beer quickly became a fan favorite for its daring flavor profile, which led us to make it a core offering at Dokkaebier.

From the first sip, you’ll experience the tart zest of ginger, followed by the warm, spicy kick of gochugaru. The combination of these two bold ingredients makes each sip both refreshing and spicy, creating a balance that’s bold but approachable. Perfect for those looking to try something different and exciting.

Kimchi Kettle Sour wasn’t part of our core lineup at first. It began as an experimental beer, Batch 17, where we explored the idea of blending kimchi-inspired ingredients like ginger and gochugaru into our brewing process. The result? A beer that balances spicy, sour, and refreshing notes, quickly becoming a hit among craft beer lovers and earning its place as a permanent offering at Dokkaebier.
