UAE's first brewery coming this month!

 

Craft by Side Hustle: The first Brewery in the UAE will open in Abu Dhabi this month!

Abu Dhabi is on the brink of a significant milestone in its history. This month, Craft by Side Hustle is set to open its doors at The Galleria Al Maryah Island, becoming the UAE's very first legal brewery.

 

What makes this opening truly groundbreaking is the change in regulations that Abu Dhabi introduced in 2021. According to Bloomberg, these changes allow establishments to legally ferment alcoholic beverages on-site, marking a significant shift in the region's approach to alcohol production.

 

Craft by Side Hustle is seizing this opportunity to offer a unique experience to both residents and visitors. They will be brewing their beer right on the premises, eliminating the need for imports. Beer enthusiasts can look forward to enjoying a variety of beer styles, including pale ales, pilsners, stouts, lagers, and hard seltzers. It's a step towards offering a diverse range of beverage options to the community.

 

Located at The Galleria Al Maryah Island, Craft by Side Hustle shares its space with international high-end chain restaurants like Zuma, Em Sherif Cafe, and Coya. Additionally, you can find the Michelin-starred 99 Sushi Bar right next door.

 

What sets Craft by Side Hustle apart is its strong connection with the UAE. Their camel mascot proudly adorns their cans and bottles, symbolizing their commitment to the country. Before the pandemic, they organized "Hustle Fest," a craft beer festival in Abu Dhabi, bringing together beer enthusiasts and highlighting their dedication to the craft beer community.

 

This moment is undoubtedly going to make a lasting impact on Abu Dhabi's cultural and culinary landscape. Cheers to Craft by Side Hustle for pioneering UAE's brewing frontier!
