Dokkaebier Kimchi Sour is a fruited kettle sour beer brewed in Oakland, California by Dokkaebier, a Korean-inspired craft brewery founded in 2020. This four-pack of 16 oz cans features a tangy, refreshing sour ale made with ginger, gochugaru peppers, and a lactic culture derived from two-year-old homemade kimchi.

The brewing process involves passing the wort through a steeping bag of gochugaru peppers before kettle souring with the bespoke kimchi culture, which sits in the kettle for two days. The result is a beer with a distinctive umami character from the sour lacto culture, complemented by a pleasant, savory tingle from the ginger and gochugaru peppers.

Kimchi Sour won a Platinum Medal at the 2022 Annual Brewski Awards and a silver medal at the World Beer Cup.
