Punch Drink’s Best Craft Beer Breweries of 2024

Dokkaebier, despite launching in February 2020 during the pandemic, has rapidly gained recognition in the craft beer world. Highlighted by Punch Drink as one of the best craft beer breweries of 2024, Dokkaebier stands out for its distinctive fusion of traditional brewing techniques and unique Asian ingredients. One beer that’s earned special attention is the Kimchi Sour, a daring brew that pushes the boundaries of flavor, combining a love for fermentation with innovative brewing methods.

Dokkaebier’s Kimchi Sour has been the star of the show, praised for its balanced tartness and surprising yet refreshing flavor profile. Other award-winning beers include the Yuza Blonde Ale, which offers a zesty punch of yuzu fruit, and the Galangal Witbier, a creative twist on the Belgian classic. These brews showcase Dokkaebier’s ability to infuse Korean cultural elements into every pour.

The recognition from Punch Drink stems from Dokkaebier’s commitment to breaking the mold. As founder Youngwon Lee explains, the goal has always been to craft beers that challenge Eurocentric traditions by integrating ingredients like galangal, bamboo tea leaves, and yuzu. This bold approach has resonated with craft beer enthusiasts, who appreciate the brewery’s focus on inclusivity and creativity. Senior content editor Grace Weitz from Hop Culture notes, “Dokkaebier is redefining what craft beer can be.”
