Faction Brewing

The Experience:

Quadfecta of Hoppy Beers!

You might ask. “What is a Quadfecta?” In horse-racing betting a trifecta is betting on the winners of the first three places. So, for Beer Week 2022 Faction has a “Quadfecta” of hoppy beers coming your way in cans and draft.  In their ode to hops, they have one beer on each rung of the hoppy ladder: Pale Ale, IPA, IIPA, and IIIPA.

They’ve also been having a lot of fun playing with Active Fermentation Dry Hopping (AFDH) or 2-stage dry-hopping. They dry hop 3 days into fermentation, and then again after fermentation. It seems to impart greater hop aroma and flavor in the beer. All releasing next Friday 2/11 at 3pm-ish after being canned that morning!

Check out the lineup:

1. Destroyed by Riip – In collaboration with Riip Beer Co. they brewed a 5.5% ABV Pale Ale, massively hopped with Columbus Cryo, HBC586 Cryo and Citra.
2. Jugdish IPA – additional dose of Idaho 7 hops through AFDH. “Goodnight, Jugdish.”
3. Hop Soup IIPA Their annual Beer Week IIPA! 8.5% ABV Imperial IPA with All the Hops, with an additional dose of Idaho 7 hops through AFDH.
4. Mounds of Green IIIPA First time in cans! They brewed this collab for Beer Week 2020 as a collab with Slice Beer Co. and it’s back! 10.5% ABV Triple IPA hopped with Simcoe, Apollo, Mosaic, & Strata, with an additional dose of Simcoe hops through AFDH.

Views are great during the day and as the sun sets over San Francisco.
