San Francisco from the Other Side
When we went to Alameda last December we came across a spot where you could get an unobstructed view of San Francisco’s cityscape. Turns out Faction Brewing was right next to it, and you could get the same views.
I personally like their vibe more than their beer, although they have 25 different beers on draft and a good number of cans/bottles. I am not a big fan of IPAs so I haven’t tried any, but the pilsners that I had were a little less carbonated than what I am used to. Whenever we went on a weekend there were always a lot of people, but there is plenty of seating indoors and on the patio, so I wouldn’t worry about not getting a seat. Needless to say, it’s become one of our favorite spots in the Bay Area to spend a chill afternoon on the weekend.
Good for:
Beer tasting
Small parties/gatherings
Not-so-good for:
Wine drinkers
Tips/Recommendations:
If you plan on sitting at the patio, make sure you wear sun screen (they don’t have umbrellas)
Bring your own food! They have rotating food trucks on site, but the food selection at the brewery is very small.
