Asia is a gigantic continent that combines countless cultures, religions and ways of life. The Asian countries offer a fantastic diversity that consists of breathtaking landscapes, culinary delights, music, dance, art, architecture, history, philosophy, sport, an incomparable atmosphere and many other pieces of the mosaic. Part of the fascination is the mysticism that is still a living element of daily life here today.
A mythical creature that originates from Korean mysticism is the Dokkaebi, originally written 도깨비. This magical creature has human-like features, but is usually portrayed as much more frightening and larger than we are. A horn often sprouts from its forehead and it is dressed in fur. The monster plays nasty games with mean, selfish people and rewards those who do good and sacrifice themselves for others. The Dokkaebi is known for its love of pranks, nonsense and mischief and, according to legend, challenges travelers to wrestling matches. The mythical creature has magical powers, has a magic wand and can make itself invisible when necessary. The creature also enjoys company, eating and drinking, which is why it is the namesake and emblem of the (almost) eponymous brewery in Oakland, California. The company's founders chose the Dokkaebi to adequately represent their tireless curiosity for new beers and exciting raw materials. The team draws inspiration from the cultural and culinary abundance of Asia.
When Youngwon Lee realized that there are a lot of Asian influences in the world's cuisines, but hardly any in the area of drinks, he came up with a plan to change that. He founded Dokkaebier in 2019 and began to capture the flair of Asia in his beer. With the playfulness and creativity of the mystical role model, Dokkaebier creates unconventional brews that are challenging and fun. The aim of the operation is to make the craft beer industry more diverse and open. Different cultures are to be merged into a total work of art using traditional brewing art. The brewery's beers are neither filtered nor pasteurized - natural taste in limited editions. The ingredients are hand-picked and carefully matched. Creations such as the Korean Rice Lager combine American brewing craftsmanship with Asian raw materials, Korean design and international hop varieties to create very special brews. The range consists of classic styles to which Dokkaebier has put its own stamp with a modern twist and unusual ingredients.
