The Experience:

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!
