The best beer in town and the most brilliant staff! 10 stars! This is my go to when I want a great beer and Saturday nights there is live music! read more

Side hustle has to be one of my favorite local breweries. They have a constant rotation of incredible beers. I love always trying new styles they come out with. They have live music, food trucks and a super friendly staff. They even have a really amazing non alcoholic hop water called safety round for those friends who don't drink. I think they said something like they are third best brewery in Lodi but they are number one in my book! If you haven't checked them out you need to ASAP you will not be disappointed. read more

Side Hustle Brew - SAFETY ROUND - Breweries Near Me - Lodi, California

Love this place! They have a large indoor area and a cute covered outdoor area. The day we came they had an awesome Mexican food truck that was really good. We got two samplers and then realized they had wine so we got a sampler of that too. Took home some wine and beer and will be back next time we're in Lodi. And love the pride flag and the business having a voice to push back against the rude and bigoted customers (piss off, Elaine!). read more

While I'm not there every Friday like a "former" customer, this brewery has been a place for my family to enjoy a brew, some pizza and good vibes over the years. It supports my cousins business every Friday (check out Pizza Party 209) and other local businesses and artists. They have a great variety of beers that we love to try out. They have the most attentive staff and to no one's surprise, they welcome everyone in with a smile. This is the kind of atmosphere Lodi and the Central Valley have needed and we're happy to continue celebrating it! read more

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 read more

I'm here once a week for their reduced cost growler fills. Been going for about a year now. They have a seasonal called FNG (F***ing New Guy) which I highly recommend. The people that run this brewery have a an ability to make you feel like it's your brewery. I come for the conversation as much as the beer. The food trucks and music are pretty awesome too. The setting is very family friendly too. Normally during the summers they'll open up the main area up to the outdoor seating. Not for nothing but I have never come across super strong political views from the staff as described in one of the reviews. Guess some customers are super sensitive. Being a former Marine I suppose I don't suffer the same affliction. In order to keep up with tap changes and food truck schedules follow them on their social media accounts. read more

Great spot. I like dark beers so generally I'm left wanting when it come to trying other beers. Not here... flavors and knowledge are too true! So to sum it up this place rocks. And I love the vibe and the great American feel. They rock, they are kind, they are accepting, they don't judge, and they are there to make sure you have a good pint and a good time! Cheers to your success now and in the future. Great American small buisness. As also a small buisness owner I 100% applaud you for running you business the way you wish to and now bowing to narcissists and haters! Keep it up!! read more

The best local brewer in Lodi! They have a great selection to accommodate everyone's taste. Friendly staff and a laid back vibe. Great food trucks and music weekly. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I used to stop in here fairly often. The beer was decent -- nothing mind-blowing, but a solid local spot and worth supporting. Unfortunately, the entire vibe has changed. Instead of focusing on making good beer and giving customers a welcoming place to relax, they've decided to turn the taproom into a platform for politics. That's not why I go to a brewery. I don't want to have someone's agenda with my pint. There are plenty of other local breweries that keep the focus on what matters -- quality beer, good service, and a friendly atmosphere. For me, that's the line. Once a business decides to push politics at the table, it's no longer about the customer experience. I won't be coming back nor will anyone from our large weekly crew. Peace out read more

Excellent beer, excellent people. Be sure to make a point of stopping by for a couple of pints if you're anywhere near Lodi.

Side Hustle Brew Co has mastered the art of chill vibes and bold flavor. The live music was on point--laid-back but energizing--and paired perfectly with a flight of cleverly named brews! The staff are always a delight! Whether you're hanging with friends or winding down solo, this spot hits every note: great drinks, great music, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back. read more

Great beer! Great vibes! And amazing staff! They always have different foods trucks and live music. It's an awesome place to go.

I love going to Side Hustle, they brew the best beer in town, great local music, rotating food trucks everyday, and easily the most welcoming, inclusive, and respectful vibes, and a super chill atmosphere. They also give back to the community by supporting local fundraisers. The staff genuinely treats everyone like long time friends. The fact that they put real effort into being inclusive and community minded just makes me appreciate them even more. I'll keep supporting places like this because it's clear they care not just about making great beer, but about creating a space where everyone feels comfortable and valued. Cheers! read more

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 :) read more

Just a beautiful, welcoming space to enjoy good pub grub and damn fine beer. Friendly and attentive staff are the cherry on top.

Friendly service, great beer, chill atmosphere-- perfect place to meet up with friends.

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! read more

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!!! read more

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

Great beer and great service! Looking forward to coming back to try the wood fired pizza!

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! read more

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

Ok...I don't review many places, but this is a MUST! Living the Central Valley for about 3yrs coming from the Bay Area, I must say.....best beer hands down that I have found. Hidden gem is right...IPA's and Pale are amazing! Service and hospitality from Stacy was amazing! There are a few beer spots in the area but if you're a real beer connoisseur, Side Hustle is absolute MUST! You will not be disappointed! Side Hustle, you have a forever customer! Thank you!! read more

I wish I could give 5 stars, but unfortunately I feel they need to offer more options. The space is small and inviting, however, if you are not a beer or red wine drinker and would like a drink, this is not a place for you. They currently only have ONE White wine. Wish they had more white wine options as many are allergic to a chemical in red wines.They also do not have any other alcoholic options such as seltzers, ciders or sours. I feel they would attract more customers if they do offer another choice. Many people want to still have a good time out and enjoy a drink but may not prefer beer or wine. read more

First time coming here. Very good beer nice and relaxing spot. Definitely will be coming back to try another beer. Even my hubby liked his beer read more

What a little gem. Great rotation of beers. Lodi has quite a few breweries, but only a few actually have solid beer. This place is one of them. Along with their delicious brew they have a unique rotation of food trucks! Highly recommend. read more

We enjoyed it. Few places have wine tasting and beer, so very nice. The place is very welcoming, industrial style. Beer leans toward IPAs, but very smooth IPAs. The server was excellent. Good times. Check it out. read more

Fellow Beer Drinkers and Associates, I do not profess to be a beer expert but do pride myself in understanding and appreciating the art of craft brewing. I support all craft breweries but have only become a member of one, Side Hustle Brew Co. I can highlight the actual brewery and the welcoming and stylish ambiance it captures, inside and outside. Yes, beer drinkers appreciate ambiance too! I can attest to the wonderful tap ladies who make your visit a pleasure. I can proclaim the brew master is an artist in action and passion. But, of all this and more, I can proclaim every beer on top is a fine craft, taste amazing in flight or pint, fresh and refreshing, and brewed on the spot. Side Hustle Brew Co., bottom line, excellent craft beers. Come drink some! Ps. Dog friendly too! read more

So far the best brewery we have been at. Our server Alexis was helpful and she selected an excellent flight.

Go for the beer. You can find better wine elsewhere in Lodi, though it is nice they have that choice for non-beer drinkers in your group.
