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 &amp; tasting room opened in the Spreckels Junction area of Salinas in 2016. In early 2018 we opened our R&amp;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 &amp; Taproom, an art deco styled restaurant and bar in the center of Oldtown Salinas.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px\">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. As an employer, we strive to ensure an equitable working environment that’s centered on inclusion and diversity. As a community partner, we engage with local nonprofits and environmentally focused organizations to be a great steward of the beautiful area we call home</span><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px\">.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(66, 66, 66); font-size: 18px\">EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Alvarado Street Brewery &amp; Bistro provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, sex, creed, gender, religion, marital status, age, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition including genetic characteristics, sexual orientation, citizenship, pregnancy, childbirth and related conditions, military or veteran status, gender identity, gender expression, gender transitioning/transitioned, or any other consideration made unlawful by federal, state or local laws.</span></p>",
