The Experience, Alameda: Faction Brewing Co Class

The Experience:

Pints + Bread-making!

Beer and bread – name a more iconic duo. On March 20, 7:30-8pm, Faction Brewing is teaming up with Grainbakers for a spent grain bread-making class right there in their taproom.

At the end of the brewer’s day, you will use the brewery’s fresh, spent grain and work it into a beautiful artisan bread dough. You can customize your bread by adding various flavors from their spice selection, including:

  • UBE Purple Sweet Potato
  • Cinnamon Raisin
  • Rosemary & Sea Salt

Delve into the science behind brewing and explore sustainability in the craft beer industry. You’ll learn about brewer’s spent grain, why it’s considered a superfood, and how to incorporate it into bread.

It will be fun to sip, mix, knead, and craft your own delicious loaf to take home to bake.
Spots are limited. You knead to grab your tickets now. https://www.grainbakers.com/…/breadmaking-class-at…

The Experience, Emeryville: Wondrous Brewing January Brew

The Experience:

Fresh Emeryville beer to start your year!

January started out all about what’s new on tap. Wondrous Brewing’s 2nd batch of ‘Wonder Cut’ is a West Coast IPA 6.4% abv, hopped with Citra, Idaho 07, Nelson & Mosaic, is now on tap. They were just feeling this hop combo on brew day and went with it! Mega fresh fruit and dank citrus on the nose, with the classic, punchy West Coast hop flavor and dry, resinous finish we all love.

They also tapped the final keg in existence of their first ever Barrel Aged Barleywine release ‘When the Poet Dies’. So, get down to your local craft brewery and have a taste or two.

And for those of you who enjoyed their Wondrous Hell beer at the 2024 Celebration of the Arts Opening Night at Public Market – just want you to know that they won the Bronze Award for Wondrous Hell in the category of International Light Lager at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival!

Hang in their fun outside patio where you’ll find community and dogs are welcome. You can order from Los Moles, Good to Eat Dumplings, KYU2 or Rotten City Pizza – all close by.
