Soft Pretzel Making

Soft Pretzel Making at Faction Brewing
Alameda has a good one on the calendar for Wednesday, September 16 at 6:30 pm. Faction Brewing is hosting a hands on pretzel night, which feels like a pretty natural fit for a brewery with big tables, good beer, and that wide open waterfront feel.
Faction has the kind of room that makes a weeknight plan easy. You get the industrial taproom setting, views across the Bay, and plenty of space to settle in without making the evening feel too formal.
The main action here is the pretzel making. Expect a guided class setup, with someone walking the room through shaping, twisting, and baking the dough. The performers, in a way, are the people at the tables trying to get that classic pretzel loop right while sipping something cold.
This is a nice pick if you want a low pressure night out that still gives you something to do. Bring a friend, make a few imperfect pretzels, and hang around for a beer after.
