Kimchi Sour

Kimchi Sour, Dokkaebier
Description 

Kimchi is a staple of Korean cuisine and it was only a matter of time before we found a way to incorporate it. With each swig, your palate will be taken on a journey from the refreshingly tart beginnings of ginger to the boldly aromatic and spicy finish of gochugaru (Korean sun-dried chili peppers). Not to mention, we also used our head brewer's own personal kimchi culture. This kettle sour really is an experience in a can!
