Seoul Brothers Alementary Beer Release

Seoul Brothers Alementary Beer Release

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.”

Blake Crawford and Rob Cho

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.

Robert Austin Cho, Chef/Owner of Kimchi Smoke in Westwood, will be appearing on Beat Bobby Flay on February 22 at 10PM. The episode, “Sour with the Sweet” will include a Round 1 Battle between BBQ fusion master Cho and Brian Malarky, a Top Chef finalist.

What was the secret ingredient Bobby Flay chose in Round 1? Cho was hoping that it would not be a vegetable, so he could have his long awaited showdown with Flay. “I got into barbecue by watching Throwdown with Bobby Flay and just being on the show with an opportunity to face Bobby Flay is a real blessing. My parents immigrated to the States to give me a better opportunity. This is that opportunity. Win, lose, or draw I know my father would proud of me”.
Food Network’s Sunny Anderson and Chef Josh Capon will be serving one of them to Flay.
Judges: Rich Aronovitch, Dana Cowinand Leah Cohen who recently opened Piggyback Bar in Jersey City.
