Faction Brewing has been a part of Alameda since 2013.

The company produces all types of beer, from IPAs and Belgians to pales, which the curious can sample from their 25,000 square foot hangar in full view of the San Francisco skyline.
Artist Shaney jo Darden founded the Keep A Breast Foundation when she found out that her 27-year-old friend contracted breast cancer. The organization, from Carlsbad, California, raises awareness of prevention and early detection through the use of art and educational programs.
