American Pale Ale
Faction Pale
Our signature pour. Citrus-forward, resinous, and impossibly drinkable. The one that started it all.

Brewing for those who
refuse to settle
At Faction, every batch is a declaration — that craft matters, that community matters, and that the best things are made slowly, with intention, and shared with people who appreciate the difference.

Our Story
Born from a belief that
Born from a belief that
great beer changes everything
Faction Brewing Company started with a simple conviction: that a brewery should be more than a production facility — it should be a gathering place where craft is taken seriously but never taken too far.
Located in the heart of Oakland, we pour every style from sessionable pale ales to barrel-aged stouts that demand your full attention. Our brewing team treats each batch as a conversation between tradition and experimentation — respecting the recipes that built this industry while pushing toward what comes next.
The result is a taproom that feels like home and a beer list that keeps you coming back to see what's new. No pretense. Just honest beer, made well, served with warmth.

The Beers
On tap, on point,
On tap, on point,
always worth your time
Our rotating selection reflects the seasons, our moods, and the ingredients we're most excited about right now. Here's what's flowing.
American Pale Ale
Imperial Stout
Midnight Faction
Barrel-aged on oak, aged longer on your patience. Dark chocolate, espresso, and a finish that lingers like a good conversation.
New England IPA
Golden State Haze
Juicy, clouded, and aggressively tropical. Mango, papaya, and a soft bitterness that disappears into the fruit.
Pilsner
Glen Avenue Pils
Named for our home street. Crisp, clean, with a delicate floral hop note and a dry finish that asks for another.
Our tap list changes regularly. For the current selection, reach out or visit us — we'll pour you something perfect.
