OCEAN HOPTIMISM
October 22, 2026 5:00 pm
Ocean Hoptimism at Faction Brewing
Faction Brewing in Alameda is a solid place for a Thursday evening when you want space, bay air, and something good in your glass. The taproom has that open warehouse feel, with big views across the water and plenty of room to settle in with friends.
On Thursday, October 22, from 5 to 7 pm, the brewery hosts an ocean focused evening with Ashley Kidd and Andrew Kim from the Sunflower Star Laboratory. They will share stories about sunflower sea star recovery, with beer and casual conversation in the mix.
This sounds like a good one for anyone who likes marine life, local science, or just wants a different kind of happy hour. You can learn a bit, ask questions, and still keep the mood easy.
Faction is at 2501 Monarch St in Alameda. More details are posted here: event info. You can also check out the venue here: Faction Brewing.
