DeliveryRank Interview with Youngwon

DeliveryRank Interview with Youngwon Last Update - November 30, 2022 Youngwon recently spoke with DeliveryRank about Dokkaebier and what makes it special.  Find out how Youngwon came up with the idea of Dokakebier, how we came up with our beer flavors , and Youngwon’s entrepreneurial journey of founding the leading Asian-inspired craft beer company. Check out the interview!  Here are a few notable excerpts from Youngwon’s conversation with DeliveryRank: How did you come up with the idea for Dokkaebier? I’ve been involved in the alcohol industry for 14 years. Back in South Korea, I ran an import distribution company representing many international alcohol brands. My main goal was to launch them in South Korea.  Things took a turn five years ago when an opportunity to live in the U.S. arose. I started running a brewery in northern California. Three years ago, I started Dokkaebier, an Asian-inspired craft brewery based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Which flavors are the most popular among your customers? Kimchi Sour, Bamboo Pilsner and Yuza Blonde are the most popular Dokkaebier craft beers. They have also won national and international awards. Kimchi Sour won a Gold Medal at the 2021 Annual Brewski Awards. Do your ingredients need some sort of approval? We are craft beer fans, and we want to get feedback from craft beer fans right away. We organize many tastings and make sure to have them test our experimental brews.  We analyze reactions, feedback and customer suggestions. The approval of our community helps us understand whether the new creation is a good bet.

Where to find Dokkaebier in Whole Foods Market - January 2023 a Dokkaebier is finally available at Whole Foods Market grocery stores! Since we launched Dokkaebier in 2020, it’s been our dream to get into Whole Foods. Walking through the beer aisle of those well-known and renowned stores, we didn’t see any Asian-inspired craft beers. We’ve worked hard for over a year, and it’s paid off. We finally got in! Dokkaebier is available on the shelves of a new Whole Foods location every few days. We’ve grown from our first location in Walnut Creek a few months ago to 62 locations all over California!  You can find six Dokkaebier core beers at Whole Foods Market grocery stores in California: Dokkaebier Kimchi Sour Dokkaebier Bamboo Pilsner Dokkaebier Yuza Blonde Dokkaebier Rice Kolsch Dokkaebier Milk Stout Dokkaebier Dokkaebi IPA This is a major milestone for Dokkaebier, and it’s thanks to you we made it this far!
