Side Hustle Brew

Price for the flights and singles are definitely worth it. They had live music and there are some games you can grab to play. Good for small groups or solo. They happened to have a pop up for a bbq place there but I think they rotate pop ups of people with food. Either way would come back good vibes

Deep breath...sigh...Sooo...many years ago I got into it just a little bit with Rick (Riaza tasting room downtown.) Ended up crossing them off our list. A couple weeks ago I discovered Side Hustle Brew was in existence. Since I am not looking for a new best friend and being a beer kind of person, I decided to give them a go anyway...just looking for some good suds...Great-Great decision. First off they are making some really good beers. We went through several taster glasses and a few pints. The awesome lady running the place is great. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and gave us a couple sips so we could get oriented. Things I liked...the beer, the glasses, the logo (okay, I am a nerd graphics guy), the vibe and the friendly peeps we met who were also enjoying a pint or two. The tasters at $2 are an incredible go...for $10 you get a good taste of five brews. Great experience. No food but they do rotate food trucks on prem and allow you to bring food in. Thumbs up! Nice outdoor space when weather permits. They have made it to my top two list here in Lodi. Gave me a menu which I hung from the activity board in our short term rental property. Only possible negative was the indoor space is a bit noisy but hey, it's a party place...right. Nice bar, tables and high-tops to choose from and get comfortable. Interesting little table games to keep you occupied as well. We liked it so much we came back...with a friend in tow. Beers are made in small batches so if you like variety/new beers and fresh beer, Side Hustle is your place.They have a membership club where you get some benni's including ability to purchase a special brew. Currently Snort & Rally which is almost worth joining the club for.Since they are part of/partnered with Riaza Wines, your group can enjoy both beer and wine at the same table. Grab a taco from out back and y'all are good to go.They are a little hard to spot as you head to Costco, but worth slowing down and looking for. As for my issue with Rick, I don't remember all the details, doubt if he does either and only a real loser-moron would hold a grudge for 20 years...So Cheers Rick! Best to you and your team...See you again!

We had a great visit to Side Hustle Brewery for Father's Day! FYI, they are kid friendly! We got there right @1 when they opened. When you park in the parking lot, it looks like you're in the qwrong place, but you're not! There is a side gate to access the property. The inside area is open with a lot of seating, and their outside area is nice. There is a covered portion and uncovered. They didn't have a food truck this day, so we brought in snacks which was awesome! They offer beer by the glass or you can do a flight of beer tasters. They also have wine flights or by the glass/bottle. They service was great, and I wish we had gotten the nice employees name but she was super helpful and knew all about the beers and wine she was serving.

Get the flight, leave with a growler, get a bottle of red wine, and you'll be happy!One of the more inclusive places to imbibe and retrieve tasty snacks from a nearby taco truck or guest vendor :)

Had a great time last night. Great staff, beer, vibe and venue. We will be back to support this neighborhood business for sure!

Loved this place! Alexis totally rocked our night We had such a good time Thank you Alexis!Definitely recommend Hustle juice I'll for sure be back!

Fun place to hang out. The night we went, there was live music...A group called The Jebby Trio. In fact, that's the reason we tried out the brewery after we saw a post on fb about the music. Plus, we always like to check out our local breweries we haven't tried yet.My only wish, can you please serve a Lodi Chardonnay (even a local Chard like Woodbridgnot buttery but fruity) for those of us that prefer wine to beer? The hubby really enjoyed the beer!

Found Side Hustle Brewery because "Dave & the Box" was playing there!! It's a hidden gem.... Nice open space, have a variety of beer and wine and also have taco trucks on sight!! We will definitely be going here regularly now!! And not over crowded like most breweries!! It's a must try!!!

Let me start by saying our server Alexis was amazing! She has an awesome vibe and is very knowledgeable. My partner and I purchased a flight of beers and are extremely fond of the Hustle Juice and 'Merica. Will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends, family, and coworkers. ASK FOR ALEXIS, she won't steer you wrong!

Just a great brewery, laid back, and comfortable. Their IPAs were very good. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable.
