Grant Hamilton, owner and Head Brewer, ignited his passion for craft beer at age 8 in a Glasgow pub. His palate evolved through years spent across Europe, Australia, and the US. Relocating to California in 2012, he envisioned a business that celebrated both West Coast IPAs and Germanic brews. In 2014, he opened Flight Lounge in Woodbridge, introducing 12 rotating taps and over 50 bottled beers, quickly making beer the star. Inspired by local interest, he founded IDOL Beer Works in downtown Lodi, launching with his first brew on September 2, 2017, and officially opening on September 29.
