Faction Brewing - Alameda

Who doesn't love a good brewery eh! I've been parlaying here for many moons(years), and there is never a dull moment let alone view here. The space is...

Returning back to California to get some breweries off of my want list. Faction Brewing was one of them and it was a fun experience getting their Hella...

Awesome spot! Huge seating inside and outside. Awesome view of the city. Downside for me...no Hazy IPAs : still able to find one that was ok to...

I went here today with a group of friends for the drinks. We had no idea that there were tons of small businesses inside, but we wandered in to go the bathroom and found out the place was hosting an event with lots of small businesses, but there were barely any people there. It was super awkward inside. There was a band playing, but it seemed like they were only performing for the vendors, which was hard to watch. I talked to a few of the vendors and could tell they were clearly upset. They said they were told to expect a big crowd, but instead showed up to... well, what I described before. Apparently Faction refuses refunds. I tried to buy from a few businesses out of pity, but honestly, it was just a really sad experience. Small businesses deserve so much better than this. I won't be supporting a place that treats small businesses like this.

Not sure what happened to Faction but it’s frankly depressing now. We used to come every weekend and there were tons of people and incredible food trucks. We came back since it had been a while. The place is empty and for good reason. Paid $20 for inedible chicken from “Thee Baby Zees Eatery”, wouldn’t feed it to my dog. Threw the entire thing out. Do better or shut down so someone else can give us a place worth coming to.
