In a momentous leap for the UAE’s culinary scene, Craft by Side Hustle is gearing up to unveil its artisanal haven as the country’s inaugural brewery in Abu Dhabi this December. Nestled within The Galleria Al Maryah Island, this brewing spectacle promises a unique fusion of global flavors, marking a significant shift in the region’s craft beverage landscape.
Local Roots, Global Flavors
Craft by Side Hustle, born in the heart of Abu Dhabi, has already made a mark with its renowned craft hops brand. While their frothy creations are currently available for purchase in the UAE and aboard Etihad flights, the brewery’s production hub is set to relocate from the USA to the vibrant capital of Abu Dhabi.

Regulatory Winds of Change
A pivotal regulatory change in 2021 paved the way for this historic move. Abu Dhabi’s decision to allow alcohol license holders to ferment on-site for immediate consumption opened the doors for Craft by Side Hustle to pioneer the region’s first brewery. Situated amidst the gastronomic excellence hub at The Galleria Al Maryah Island, this establishment is set to redefine the local craft beverage experience.
A Culinary Symphony
Craft by Side Hustle aspires to be more than just a brewery; it envisions a 250-seater venue that embraces an artisanal ethos and a global perspective. The brewery’s menu, inspired by Southern Louisiana flavors, will complement its diverse array of beverages.
Cold Ones Galore
While specific details about the on-site brewing selection remain under wraps, Craft by Side Hustle’s retail range offers a tantalizing glimpse. From IPAs to lagers, with names like Slipstream, Prost!, Sandstorm, Clear Skies, Scooter Gang, Jetlag Relief, and humorously titled brews such as ‘Do the Needful’ and ‘Massage Card Ninja,’ the brewery promises a cold one for every palate.
