Faction Brewing - Alameda

Location is kinda remote in old navy garrison in Alameda. Many parking should be available.There is a large outdoor sitting area with many tables available.Good for gathering, groups, small parties, kids and dogs.Many Beer options and there's a Mexican food truck for food. You can bring your own food and just get drinks!Nice city view over the bay.

This place is WELL worth the trek.The whole area is ripe for improvement, but Faction has done an incredible job taking the lil slice of Alameda and delivering a view to doe for and delicious beers.

This is one of the most unique and impressive breweries I've ever been to. The staff were fantastic and offered great suggestions. The views from the expansive outdoor area are stunning. I was really disappointed that we could only stay for an hour.

Located in a hanger with views of the city on the island of Alameda you will find Faction Brewing. This place is known for making some of the worlds best hoppy beers. Although they specialize in Pale Ales and IPA's, they also create some world class lagers, stouts and some pilsners. I grew up on Coors Light so it takes some coaxing to get me to try craft beers. I not only tried most of the beers on tap, I enjoyed most of the beers on tap. Recently we picked up several beers to take to our son in Oregon. We were enjoying some time in his driveway, COVID style, when some neighbors came to join us. We offered them some Faction IPA and they loved it. In fact, that evening they contacted my son to get more information about the beer. Faction is fun, the beer is outstanding, the owners give back to the community. What is there not to like about this place? When in Alameda, venture to Spirits Alley and enjoy a beer at Faction Brewing. You can thank me later.

The restaurant offers a fantastic view of the city across the bay. The pale ale is quite good as well. There's ample parking and plenty of seating options both indoors and outdoors.
