"Alvarado Street Brewery is a Northern California favorite, so it’s worth a stop in town to get a sampling of the beers that put it on the map for beer fans. Try the latest offerings or go with the hoppy IPA dubbed You’re Right on Time or an easy-drinking American lager like Alvarado’s Monterey Beer. Meanwhile, for food, visitors can enjoy the newly launched Bar Pie pizza program or dig into a wagyu smash burger should the mood strike." - Lauren Saria, Paolo Bicchieri, Dianne de Guzman
