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.

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.
