The Experience:

Harvest Season just hit the taps! Brews, Fundraising + Salsa.

Brews:

Treat yourself to Faction’s Harvest IPA – a fresh hop IPA brewed with just-picked Mosaic hops straight from Coleman Agriculture, and a ‘wet/dry’ hop combo with HBC 586 from Perrault Farms. According to the brewery crew, it’s packing that perfect punch of fresh, juicy hop goodness [6.9%]. So, skip the pumpkin spice and grab a pint of the real fall flavor.

On another note: Meet Commando 450: A West Coast IPA powered by a triple threat of Nelson, Galaxy, and Mosaic hops [6.7%]. This brew means business and is available in cans! It’s bold, it’s daring, and it’s ready to take your beer game to the next level. Ready to hop into something different? This one’s calling your name.

Happenings:

Tonight, Thurs, Oct 24 at Faction: It’s Hops for Hunger from 5-7pm. Drink good, do good!  Faction and Super Mario’s are  teaming up with the Alameda Food Bank to support families in need.

Sat/Sun, Oct 26/27 from 11am to 6pm. The Sazon Latin Food Festival is happening! A family-friendly fiesta featuring delicious Latin cuisine from all corners of Latin America, live salsa music, and a vibrant atmosphere that’ll have you dancing between bites. Free admission!

Get down to Faction and join the fun! Bring your friends, bring your dogs and enjoy the great views of  San Francisco Bay.
