USA, CA: Dokkaebier announces acquisition of Federation Brewing

California-based craft brewery Dokkaebier has bought local beer producer Federation Brewing for an undisclosed fee.

Launched in 2020, the Asian-inspired beer maker has acquired Federation Brewing in its entirety, including its brands, brewery and taproom. Federation�s brewery and taproom in Oakland, California will soon be rebranded as Dokkaebier.

Dokkaebier will retain all nine of Federation�s members of staff, amounting to a total of around 20 employees overall. This is the craft brewer�s first acquisition since inception.

Youngwon Lee, the CEO and founder of Dokkaebier, told Just Drinks the addition of Federation Brewery will accelerate the company�s growth and distribution as well as increase production.

He said: �The acquired brewery and taproom will help Dokkaebier ramp up production by thousands of barrels, produce and release dozens of new craft beer varieties and flavours a year, and host dozens of events as part of the local community.

�Dokkaebier will also take over Federation Brewing�s distribution relationships and local partnerships, which include new retailers, delivery service providers and alternating proprietorships with craft breweries.�

Federation�s beers, including In The Weeds IPA and Utopia Planitia Red Rye, are available through local retailers, e-commerce and its own taproom.

�We thank Federation Brewing for giving us the opportunity to cement Dokkaebier�s roots in Oakland,� Lee said.

�We are proud that our first flagship brewery and taproom will continue to be a space for the underrepresented in our industry.�

Dokkaebier has released over 40 craft beers which are available in over 400 restaurants and retailers, including Whole Foods Market and H Mart.

Federation Brewing founder Aram Cretan added: �We are excited to join forces with Youngwon and Dokkaebier. Dokkaebier shares our commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the beer industry. They will help extend our legacy as a community-oriented brewery.�

Hayden Fullstone, co-founder of beverage powder mixes company Liquid I.V., has also joined Dokkaebier as an adviser to help the company �launch in new markets as part of our planned nationwide expansion and identify and secure new marketing, partnership and sales opportunities�, Lee said.
