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."

IT WAS SALINAS VALLEY, NOT EAST OF EDEN, that was the initial title of John Steinbeck’s 1952 magnum opus, his War and Peace, that he wrote after moving away from the West Coast, the one he was crafting in his head for over 20 years. The novel was an homage to his family – the Hamiltons, their neighbors and their stories, and is, to date, the best literary biography of this “long narrow swale between two ranges of mountains” – the Gabilans to the east and the Santa Lucias to the west – with the Salinas River winding through its center.
The completion of the multi-use bike trail through Sand City is one major step closer to completion with a new land use agreement.
