Featured here is Timber, a 1-year-old, 50-pound Siberian Husky mix with the calm soul of an old friend and the impeccable manners of a seasoned companion. Though still young, Timber has a quiet confidence and gentle nature that make him feel wise beyond his years. More details here.

Branching out!

Consider this their ‘hold my beer’ moment. Faction Brewing is branching out with a Sahti!

Branching Out is a wild farmhouse ale loaded with fonio grain from West Africa, Belgian Munich malt, flaked rye, juniper berries, cedar branches, and if all that wasn’t interesting enough, they plopped in some Hersbrucker hops! [5.8%]

Rustic. Herbal. Different in the best way. Draft only. So you have to get down to Faction and branch out with them!

The Experience:

Fresh Beer!

There will be a hint of summer this weekend with warm sunny days. Grab your sunglasses and friends and head down to your favorite brewery on the water. The crew at Faction Brewing just canned some fresh beer that’s ready to hit your fridge so you have cold ones on the ready. If you land there on Sunday, there will be that great Alameda Record Swap. Bring your vinyls.

Fresh Beer:

• 2 Hop – Meet the latest duo in their hop rotation: NZ 101 + 105. New Zealand brought the flavor, they put it in a can [5.8].
• Anomaly Milk Stout (Nitro) – Looks like a pale ale, drinks like dessert. Anomaly’s back to mess with your senses in the best way [6.5].
• Plus two of your faves: 1970’s Lager, and Spring IPA. Fresh and, tasting like victory.

Ready for that fill up? Faction is ready for you. You can pick up Wednesday-Sunday.
