"No brewery in the East Bay offers a better view than Faction, which sits on the old Alameda naval base overlooking the San Francisco skyline. The big deck isn’t open for now, but customers can still enjoy some of the best hop-forward IPAs around at home: Pickup of cans, bottles, and crowlers is available Wednesday through Sunday 1–5 p.m., as is shipping to anywhere in California. Order online." - Luke Tsai, Janelle Bitker
