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.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours hazy gold with a large foamy white head that persisted. Aroma is very tropical. Med plus body. Juicy, but not very sweet. Moderately bitter. Pineapple, melon and a light touch of weed. Flavor is the thing here. Great flavor.

Solid aromatics of curry and resin. Hazy light golden-yellow with moderate white head. Alcohol overwhelms and it is a blend of medicine and fusals. Moderate burn.

Poured from a 16 oz February 19, 2025.
Aroma is hop forward and fruity with lots of pineapple, passion fruit, mango and guava. Faint stone fruit and lemon-lime citrus notes. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a pale, dull, hazy, straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Fairly high lacing and medium small legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly hop forward with lots of passion fruit, pineapple, mango, and guava. Lighter citrus notes. Light dank, oily resin notes.
Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a classic juicy, hazy DIPA. Nice creamy mouthfeel. Good fruity hop notes with the faintest dank notes. Balanced alcohol and bitterness notes. Fairly sweet.
