Faction Brewing

I think Faction has the most scenic views of any brewery in the bay area. See for yourself on their outside patio.
They make some great beers here, all sorts of hoppy concoctions. I’ve had several, all west coast IPAs with big hop profiles. There’s other beers, but I know what I like!

Roger and Claudia have a great brewery operation going on here in an old hangar on the edge of the crumbling tarmac of Alameda Naval Air Station (killer view of SF). It's all about the awesome beer here. Roger is a brewing genius and is constantly coming up with new recipes.
There are many beers to sample when you visit. My favorite is the A Town pale, only available on the island of Alameda.

Amazing beers with one of the widest selections at a brewery I have seen. Awesome view, indoor and outdoor seating and the indoor includes taproom and production facility searing. Only downside is that brewery tour buses come through and clog up the place with very loud and sometimes drunk people...not a big deal but just hard to talk to and hear the people I was with. I have really enjoyed...

Nice location overlooking the bay. Very relaxed atmosphere. Several people had their dogs wandering about. Nice selection of beer, 20+ taps all house beers. Reasonably priced and most of the beers were really solid. Will definitely return when on the area. No food available and not much seating inside. Several larger tables outside.
