The Experience:

East Brother’s take on the American hoppy ale Gold IPA:

It’s built on the classics; brewed for now. Bright on the nose, bold on the palate, and finished clean and dry. Inspired by the West Coast IPAs that helped define a generation of craft beer, this one stays rooted in the fundamentals. A classic ale base, a thoughtful hop bill and just enough wheat in the grain bill to add body and texture without stealing the spotlight.

What you’ll notice first:

Bright citrus and pine aromatics
A hop-forward flavor that stays balanced
A dry, clean finish that keeps you coming back

This is an IPA that respects where the style came from: no gimmicks, no shortcuts. Just a well-built ale, designed to last. Find it at their taprooms, to-go, shipped in CA, or through select retailers: https://bit.ly/49pTT24

“With more than 3,000 square feet fronting the grassy landscape that is Yerba Buena Gardens, it offers 15 or so beers, along with board games, darts, and pool — like a fun suburban basement, but with way more taps.” The San Francisco Standard

The Experience:

A Santa Cruz/East Bay collab!?! You know it’s gonna go down easy.

Faction Brewing’s recent Santa Cruz collaboration is the “Coo Coo Ca Choo” IPA, a West Coast IPA brewed with Mosaic and Citra hops, a partnership with Santa Cruz’s Private Press Brewing, offering citrusy, fruity notes with balanced bitterness, and it’s available in their taproom and for shipping and in cans (4-packs) for purchase from Faction.

You can find it on Faction’s online store or visit their Alameda tasting room to try it!

A couple of calendar notables:

Thurs, Dec 18 at 7pm – Ocean Hoptimism is closing the year with something that hits way deeper than the tide charts. Ocean Hoptimism is back with artist Andres Amador, the guy who turns entire beaches into temporary works of art and somehow leaves you seeing the coastline, and yourself differently.
Sat, Dec 20, 1 – 6pm – Faction Brewing Winter Market! By Alternative Entertainment Marketing & Events. Over 35 vendors, beer and great food!

Faction Brewing’s Hours: Wed/Thu 2-8pm; Fri/Sat 12-8pm; Sun 12-6pm. Non-alcoholic beverages are also available for purchase. They have a large outdoor patio and indoor seating is also available. Call to confirm hours (510) 523-2739.
