Highway 1 has a way of tempting drivers to keep rolling past every small town. In Pescadero, one old dining room has been asking people to pull over since 1894.

Alvarado Street Brewery unveils its 'forever home'

A new chapter for one of Monterey County's business success stories begins this weekend with the grand opening of Alvarado Street Brewery's new 32,000-square-foot facility in Castroville, a major expansion the brewery is calling its "forever home." The brewery, which owner and head brewer JC Hill started as a homebrew operation less than 20 years ago, is moving the bulk of its beer production and packaging to Castroville, where the operations will share space with a new tasting room. "This is our new forever home where we will make the vast majority of our beer," said Hill during an interview earlier this week. Known as "The Plant," the new facility will become the company's primary production facility and headquarters. The new location will be Alvarado Street Brewery's largest in the Monterey Bay area. Its production facility on Dayton Street in Salinas has largely wound down, Hill said, yet the tasting room there remains in operation. Alvarado Street Brewery & Bistro located in the Carmel Plaza, showcases some of the brewery's more experimental and German-forward beers. Its scenic location with an Art Deco interior in downtown Salinas, was last year rebranded Alvarado Street Brewery Taproom. Located in the heart of downtown
