Robert Austin Cho from Kimchi Smoke (https://www.kimchismoke.com) and Blake Crawford from The Alementary Brewing Company (http://www.alementary.com) collaborated on a new beer aptly called, “Seoul Brothers.”

Since 2016, Cho has brought his nationally acclaimed Barbecue (Best BBQ Joints in NJ by Food and Wine ‘18 and a face to face battle with Bobby Flay on Beat Bobby Flay) to various popups at Alementary known for its scientific approach and award winning flavor combinations. The combination of Southern Korean BBQ and craft beer was a natural pairing. “What’s not to like about some smokey spicy food with lots of umami washed down with some brewhaha? Now, we have a beer that’s what Kimchi Smoke’s all about. Not fusion, but 100% Korean + 100% American = 100% total deliciousness”, stated Cho.

Cho gave Crawford what he was looking for, and just like that– the geniuses at their brew laboratory came up with this rendition of Cho’s vision. The final product is reminiscent of makgeolli, traditional Korean rice wine, while maintaining all the properties of being a beer. This style is Blonde Rice Ale with ABV at 7.5%

On Friday April 12 5PM, “Seoul Brothers” will be released in six 12-ounce cans at Alementary. Cho will be on hand doing his pop up selling his signature 12 hour smoked Bad as Texas Brisket and Korean Redneck Tacos.

Kimchi Smoke Pop Up April 12 5-9pm and April 13 12-9PM.
