Alvarado Street Brewery was founded by the Hill family in 2014. It began right at our original neighborhood brewpub in Downtown Monterey and has since expanded to five locations dedicated to serving Monterey County’s locals and visitors alike. As an employer, we stand for equity and inclusion. As a community partner, we advocate for environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. We proudly welcome everyone through our doors and appreciate you taking the time to visit.

Over the past ten years, our breweries have accumulated 13 Great American Beer Festival medals, 2 World Beer Cup medals, and other prestigious awards in local and national brewery competitions. We’re proud that our company recently earned the 2023 designation of the #3 Best Brewery in America (small regional category) in Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine.
We operate three breweries — our original 10 barrel (31 gallons per barrel) system in Monterey, our 5 barrel ‘R&D’ system in Carmel-by-the-Sea, and our 20 barrel production brewery in Salinas. Over the past ten years, our breweries have accumulated 13 Great American Beer Festival medals, 2 World Beer Cup medals, and other prestigious awards in local and national brewery competitions. We’re proud that our company recently earned the 2023 designation of the #3 Best Brewery in America (small regional category) in Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine.

We’re responsible for a range of beers, covering styles from hop-saturated IPAs and Pale Ales to crisp and approachable lagers, along with many bold, experimental styles in between. We often trial new beer recipes at our smaller brewhouses, and if successful, they're brewed on a larger scale (around 1800 gallons) at our production brewery in Salinas. From there, they make their way into cans and are distributed throughout California.
