Hill in March of 2014. What started as a neighborhood brewery restaurant in Downtown Monterey has evolved into four 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". Most recently in November of 2022, we opened Alvarado Street Brewery Taproom, an art deco styled restaurant and bar in the center of Oldtown Salinas.We are committed first and foremost to the community we serve.
