Brewed with passion.
Built for the Lowcountry.

Side Hustle Brewing Co. was founded on the principle of working hard to produce the best for the community, for the craft, and for you.

Our Story

Working hard to produce the best

Originally from Sydney, Australia, Lee Holyoak, Director of Brewing Operations, began home brewing as a casual hobby. He dedicated his spare time to experimenting with various brewing techniques, creating unique and exceptional flavors that soon gained recognition among the craft brewing community. In fact, he was awarded several regional and national medals, including the National Homebrew Competition for three consecutive years. Since then, many of his beers have been award-winning, including multiple years of recognition in the US Open Beer Championship and the Great American Beer Festival.

‍

With his talent for brewing and entrepreneurial spirit, Lee has turned his passion for craft brewing into a full-fledged business. The “Side Hustle” moniker was a nod to a relentless work ethic shared and appreciated by so many, balancing passion for brewing with a full-time career. Today, he continues to set Side Hustle Brewing Co. apart with his exceptional ability to blend traditional brewing techniques with bold and daring flavors.

Part of the mission is giving back

Our recurring Farmers Market and Artisan Market events support local vendors who put the same energy and talent into everything they do, creating new opportunities for local businesses and guests alike.

We frequently host donation drives at our Bluffton location, supporting local non-profits in their efforts. We believe in giving back to the Lowcountry community that has shown so much support to us.
