What would beer infused with Kimchi, rice, or lemongrass taste like? 'Wholesome' is the word Dokkaebier aims to evoke! Meet Youngwon Lee, Founder and CEO of Dokkaebier.
In 2020, he launched this award-winning Asian-inspired brand, his fifth venture in the alcohol industry, to introduce innovation and diversity to craft beer. With only 2 percent of U.S. breweries owned by Asian Americans, according to Brewers Association data from 2023, Youngwon keenly felt the need for representation as he navigated his career in food and beverage. Reflecting on his journey with Dokkaebier, we explore the intricacies of brewing, building a career in the alcohol industry, leadership, and balancing work with family and community service. Dokkaebier has garnered acclaim, named a Rising Star of 2023 by Brewbound and recognized on the Best New Breweries of 2023 list. Welcome to Dear Workplace.
