Description
In late 2013, J.C. Hill got a call from his father, John, asking if he’d like to open a brewery restaurant in Monterey. The opportunity to collaborate on a project with his father and move home to Northern California to start a family with his wife, Melanie, could not be ignored and thus he moved. Located in a historically registered building in Old Monterey, this is our original location that opened in 2014. The Alvarado Street Brewery & Grill serves locally sourced, gastropub-influenced fare built around it's beers that are produced on-site.

In April of 2016 our Salinas Production Brewery & taproom opened to supplement house offerings at our downtown Monterey pub, and allow us to supply draft beer to quality minded local establishments.

On tap at Roscoe’s, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is very subdued, with gentle grassy hops and dry cerealy malt. Flavour is driven by cereal malt, very low hop content, and a dry biscuity finish. Unassuming, drinkable, forgettable.

From Good Times Oakland, canned April 22nd.

Pours a hazy colour of orange juice, plenty of foam, retention and lacing are fine.

Smell is grapefruit citrus followed by a blast of dankness and tropical fruit. Very juicy aromas.

The taste is grapefruit citrus, dank notes, tropical fruit, orange zest, some pine, overall very juicy.

Medium bodied, I would not bother drinking this again. Some hazys just don't do it for me. Shrugs.
