    Just had their "super pale". Not to hype them, but I think they should be a brewery to watch.

    a buddy of mine who lives in the bay area has been telling me good things about Faction. Other thoughts?

    I tried their tree beer at SF beer week. Been looking forward to their line-up since then.

    Roger has a looooong history of making great beer, I wouldn't expect anything but greatness here.

    Rodger makes fantastic beer. Tried and true. Very happy to have him finally brewing. Rodger's Last Stand is still a top 5 DIPA I've ever had.

    That beer was outrageously good. Hopefully he makes it again at Faction.

    He said it would be one of the first beers he makes. I thoroughly look forward to getting a growler fill of it.

    Was sad to see him leave Triple Rock as I live up the street from them, but boy am I excited to see what he does with his own brewery.

    P.S. Rodger's Last Stand was up there with Pliny the Younger IMO.

    Loved Rodgers Last Stand. That beer was insanely good. Ive been looking forward to this opening for awhile. Its nice to see him and Jeff Bagby open their own places. Damn its good to be California beer geek!

    Hours are noon-7:00 today through Saturday, 12-5 on Sunday and they will do blank growler fills. Their own growler bottles aren't due until tomorrow.
