opened its first brick-and-mortar location in Oakland’s Jack London Square in early May after acquiring Federation Brewing and its space.
For more than 15 years, Lee’s worked in the alcoholic beverage industry. A few years ago, he delved into craft beer. "When I started working in the beer industry, I noticed I was the only Asian person pouring beer at beer festivals, over and over," Lee said. "When I had the opportunity to start my own [brewery], I said ‘Hey I’m going to go all Asian, go all out: Packaging, brand-name, design, as well as the ingredients.
"There’s a lot more potential as a beer to have more flavors and I wanted to use the Asian cuisine, and Asian flavors introduced through the beer, and be unique on its own," Lee said."[There’s] a Korean mythical creature called ‘dokkaebi’ that likes to eat, hang out with people and drink," Lee said when explaining the company name. "Usually they hide in an object at daytime, come out at night to hang out.
"We were pretty well received, but COVID happened, so we had to shut down the taproom business," Lee said. "I started just driving around the Bay Area: 200 miles a day, 12 hours a day, just doing door-to-door delivery service."looking for more investors
