Event Details

We’re OPEN on St. Patrick’s Day!

Special Tuesday hours: 2–8pm March 17th
We’re usually closed on Tuesdays, but it would be bad luck to skip St. Paddy’s Day. So we’re opening the doors, pouring fresh beer, and adding something extra green to the mix…
Pints & Plants: Lucky Leaves
Hosted by Pints & Plants
*Advanced tickets required*
At Faction Brewing | Alameda, CA
Grab a pint, plant something lucky, and toast to St. Patrick’s Day with brews, greenery, and good company.
Pints & Plants: Lucky Leaves is a St. Patrick’s Day themed plant + beer experience where good brews meet green thumbs. During this guided, hands-on workshop, you’ll pot your own live plant to take home while enjoying a craft beer in a relaxed, festive setting.
Whether you’re a seasoned plant parent or a total beginner, this experience is easygoing, social, and all about having a good time. Expect St. Paddy’s Day energy, great music, and plenty of chances to sip, socialize, and get a little messy.
Skip the predictable bar crawl. Leave with something that actually lasts.
What’s Included:
• One live plant to pot and take home
• Pot, soil, and all planting materials
• Step-by-step guidance throughout the workshop
• A pint of beer included with your ticket
• A fun, social brewery atmosphere
Perfect for:
• A unique St. Patrick’s Day outing
• Friends looking for something different
• Casual date night plans
• Beer lovers, plant lovers, and anyone feeling lucky
Come for the brews. Stay for the roots. Leave with a plant and a little extra luck.
Spots are limited, so grab your ticket early and get ready to sip, plant, and feel lucky.
