Get ready to toast history as Abu Dhabi welcomes its first-ever microbrewery, Craft by Side Hustle.
Something very special is brewing in Abu Dhabi as Craft by Side Hustle, the UAE’s first microbrewery, prepares to open its doors this December at The Galleria Al Maryah Island. Breaking new ground, this gastropub is set to revolutionise the scene by legally brewing and serving its own beers on-site, thanks to a game-changing rule change in 2021.
Craft by Side Hustle, born from the local craft hops brand, is set to be a 250-seater haven for beer enthusiasts, offering a global perspective on artisanal brewing. The menu promises a culinary journey with Southern Louisiana flavours complementing an extensive range of craft beers, including intriguing varieties like ‘Do the Needful’ and ‘Massage Card Ninja’. As the venue joins the elite gastronomic lineup at The Galleria Al Maryah Island, it marks a significant addition to the hub of F&B excellence.
Founder and CEO Chad McGehee expresses excitement about the brewery’s inception, emphasising the brand’s commitment to delivering authentic F&B experiences. With plans to brew 75 different beers in the first year, the venue aims to become a prideful local brand, offering not just unique drinks but also a memorable lifestyle experience.
As the UAE embraces this milestone, residents and visitors alike can anticipate a revolutionary blend of flavours, culture and craftsmanship at Craft by Side Hustle, the new heartbeat of Abu Dhabi’s thriving F&B scene.
