We have a steadfast goal to fill glasses, bellies, and spirits, all while bringing the rich flavors of not only Asia, but multiple cultures into craft brews. We want to join the growing push for opening up the craft beer industry to more diversity and inclusion.
It starts with our brewery today, but we aim to expand our capabilities beyond craft beer. Although the name feels foreign now, we want Dokkaebier to become like a familiar old friend synonymous to delicious and delightful experiences.
Dokkaebier was founded in San Francisco in February 2020 by Youngwon Lee and raised in Oakland, California. Its beers are brewed in Chicago and Milwaukee and sold at Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods Market and Total Wine & More, and have been carried in 300+ stores since 2020 across Northern California, Chicago and Milwaukee.
