Alvarado Street Brewery
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 2025 designation of the #4 Best Brewery in America (small regional category) in Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine.
