MONTEREY, Calif.-- Alvarado Street Brewery celebrates 10 Years of Drinking Fresh and 10 Years Of Burping Hops by hosting three special events at their various locations on the Monterey Peninsula from May 3 - 5, 2024. Alvarado Street also enlists a dream team of hop specialists for their 10th Anniversary for the release of six collaboration beers featuring the acclaimed Monterey brewery with 18 of their closest brewer friends. Repping both the West Coast and East Coast to spotlight true-to-form styles and the evolution of craft beer innovation, Alvarado Street brings beer fans sublime collabs with Other Half, Trillium, Cellarmaker, Firestone Walker, Faction, Monkish, Green Cheek, Cloudburst, Pinthouse, and more. 

"The last decade has been such a pleasure -- we've been able to live our dream and create delicious beer and serve it with great food and warm service to our community," says J.C. Hill (Founder & Brewmaster, Alvarado Street Brewery). "Thanks so much to our customers and fans that make our job so rewarding, and also of course to our team at ASB. We have such dedicated professionals who obsess over detail, I'm truly lucky to work alongside them."

Hoist a glass of Alvarado Street at one of their upcoming 10th Anniversary events and enjoy a truly exceptional lineup of six collaboration beers. 

Alvarado Street kicks off the festivities with a 10th Anniversary Beer Garden Party at their original downtown Monterey Brewery & Grill (4pm - 8pm). Be among the first to taste through their 10th Anniversary beer collaborations as well as experience a tasty double version (8.2% ABV) of their first-ever brewed IPA at the brewpub, named Minesweeper. Tons of guest taps will be on hand featuring beers from the various collaborating breweries, including a draught-only Double Hazy IPA with Monkish. Also, enjoy items from their stellar food menu, including the brand-new 10" Cheesy 'Frico' Thin-Crusted Bar Pies in four styles: Old Town, Calabrese & Pineapple, Salchicha Macha, and Garden. 

Alvarado Street hosts an early-20th Century Köln (Germany) tradition Kölsch Service for the first time at their Carmel Brewery & Bistro (11:30am-8pm). Revelers will indulge in the delightfulness of extremely fresh beer in .2L stangen (glasses) while köbes (servers) return with another stange of Kölsch once your glass is empty. No need to ask for another beer as köbes are on the lookout for empties while adding a notch to your deckle (coaster) to calculate how many stangen you've enjoyed. Once you're done lagering, simply put the deckle atop your glass and you'll be closed out for the day. Make sure to dive into German-inspired food specials while enjoying the company of your friends and family. 

For Cinco de Mayo, imbibe with an Alvarado "Main Street Michelada" (pictured below) while vibin' out to tracks spun by a live DJ on the new Mezzanine (12pm-5pm). Check out crafts by local vendors (12pm-4pm), enjoy food specials such as Concha Bread Pudding, Verde Tacos, and Pastor Nachos, and play Lotería (5pm-8pm) to benefit CASA of Monterey County (Court Appointed Special Advocates For Children) at Alvarado On Main.
