The Experience, Alameda: Faction Brewing Co. Wednesdays

The Experience:

Pints + Paints!

There are lots of ways to experience Faction Brewing. Grab your friends for a run out on Alameda Point with lots of views and history and then kick back with your favorite Faction brew. You can bring your whole family, including the four-legged member, out for a fun evening with beer and food trucks. Or you can join local artists for pints + paints on Wednesdays with your sketchpad and watercolors. Whatever you do, stay for the sunset over San Francisco Bay!

Pints + Paints.

Marcy Voyevod, organizer of a weekly gathering of local artists at Faction Brewing Co. has been inviting artists to join her sketching on the patio. She explained, “I first started coming here on Fridays in 2015 when I worked close by and invited my colleagues. And I sketched. It just felt like my community.” Check out her collection of Fridays at Faction!

Artists of all skill levels now come to Faction to sketch and paint, and, of course, enjoy the wonderful west coast style IPAs and the great views. Gathering around a table, each artist paints something different – a container ship on the estuary, succulents on the patio, city front views, or clusters of folks enjoying their pints. Come and join them 4pm on Wednesdays.

Faction Brewing produces a wide range of beers in their 20-barrel brewhouse, including lagers, stouts, Belgian style beers, barrel aged beers, and the occasional sour. But their true specialty and passion lies in hoppy beers.

20+ taps of craft beer!
