The Experience, Alameda: Faction Brewing Co Class

The Experience:

Pints + Bread-making!

Beer and bread – name a more iconic duo. On March 20, 7:30-8pm, Faction Brewing is teaming up with Grainbakers for a spent grain bread-making class right there in their taproom.

At the end of the brewer’s day, you will use the brewery’s fresh, spent grain and work it into a beautiful artisan bread dough. You can customize your bread by adding various flavors from their spice selection, including:

UBE Purple Sweet Potato
Cinnamon Raisin
Rosemary & Sea Salt

Delve into the science behind brewing and explore sustainability in the craft beer industry. You’ll learn about brewer’s spent grain, why it’s considered a superfood, and how to incorporate it into bread.

It will be fun to sip, mix, knead, and craft your own delicious loaf to take home to bake.
Spots are limited. You knead to grab your tickets now. https://www.grainbakers.com/…/breadmaking-class-at…

About

Dashe Cellars is a family-owned artisan winery located in the heart of the Urban Wine Country at Alameda Point. After 15 years in Oakland’s Jack London Square district, Dashe Cellars moved to Spirits Alley on the old Naval Airbase in Alameda, CA.

They focus on crafting wines with a distinctive sense of place and look for that perfect balance of steep hillside vineyards, older vines, and vigor-reducing growing conditions.

Founded by Michael and Anne Dashe, Dashe Cellars crafted its first vintage of Dry Creek Zinfandel in 1996. Since that time, the Dashe’s have focused on producing exceptional, single-vineyard wines using a traditional, non-industrial approach to winemaking

The Experience, Alameda: Rhythmix Cultural Works Folk Opera

The Experience:

Nature, a bridge and an evocative story.

Join the folks at Rythmix on Saturday, February 8^th at 7pm and experience Flight Lessons, a Folk Opera by Deborah Crooks. It’s a story you will retell again and again.

Inspired by true events on Oakland’s Fruitvale Bridge, Flight Lessons tells the story of Peregrine Falcons and humans coexisting at the edge of wild and urban life.

The narrative follows an urban wildlife biologist as she monitors a breeding pair of falcons nesting on the bridge. When one bird is tragically shot, the lives of the falcons and the human community around them become deeply intertwined.

Exploring themes of home, migration, adaptation, and resilience, Flight Lessons examines the connections between life, loss, and the natural world. It asks: How do we learn to value nature in an urban environment? And how do we recover and move forward after profound loss? Tix/more info: https://www.rhythmix.org/events/flight-lessons/

The Experience:

A vacation close to home!

With six unique gathering spaces, each with its own vibe, Almanac is a vacation close to home. And there’s tons of parking, which in itself is a vacation!

Kids can dive into fun with their sandboxes, slushies, pinball machines and classic arcade games, while adults can savor world-class, award-winning beer and delicious food options, including pizza, sandos, burgers, salads and vegetarian dishes. Featured here is Scolari’s Burger with bacon, blue cheese and blueberries, if you can imagine.

Once you’ve decided on food, grab a beer to your liking – for light beers there’s Crispy Girl, a Czech Pilsner or if you want something hoppy there’s Overcast or Big Love or Flow – a west coast IPA. Like fruity? Try Sunshine & Opportunity, a Sour with Triple Strawberry & Dragonfruit.

Here’s whose cooking this weekend both Saturday and Sunday.

Crazy Block Cheesecake
Marley G’s Pizza
O’toole’s Fire & Spice
Scolari’s Good Eats

So grab your friends and take a break out at Alameda Point. The crew at Almanac can’t wait to see you.
