ABOUT ALVARADO STREET BREWERY
Alvarado Street Brewery was founded by father-son duo John and J.C. Hill in March of 2014.

What started as a neighborhood brewery restaurant in Downtown Monterey has evolved into three locations dedicated to serving Monterey county's locals and visitors alike.

Our production brewery & tasting room opened in the Spreckels Junction area of Salinas in 2016.

In early 2018 we opened our R&D pilot brewery and bistro in Carmel-by-the-Sea, known as the "Stro." Our newest addition to the ASB family is Alvarado on Main located in Oldtown Salinas which opened in the fall of 2022.

We are committed first and foremost to the community we serve.

Beer is a common thread that brings people together of all backgrounds and walks of life, and we welcome everyone through our doors.

As an employer, we strive to ensure an equitable working environment that's centered on inclusion and diversity.

As a community partner, we engage with local nonprofits and environmentally focused organizations to be a great steward of the beautiful area we call home.
