About Alvarado Street Brewery

Alvarado Street Brewery was founded by father-son duo John and J.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 Street Brewery & Taproom located in Oldtown Salinas which opened 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.
