Where it all started
Affectionately known by our team and regulars as “the pub,” our Monterey brewpub has been crafting award-winning beer on California’s Central Coast for over a decade. This is where it all began—and where we brewed our flagship beer, Mai Tai P.A., right behind that glass wall. With five medals from the Great American Beer Festival, Mai Tai P.A. has become one of the most celebrated West Coast IPAs in the country.
Our on-site 10-barrel brewhouse (about 300 gallons per batch) powers our constantly rotating lineup, including hop-forward IPAs, bright Pale Ales, crisp lagers, and experimental small-batch beers. This system allows us to innovate and test new beer recipes at the pub—recipes that, when proven, scale up to our 30-barrel production brewery in Salinas (roughly 1,800 gallons per batch). From there, our beers are canned and distributed throughout California.
If you're looking for the best brewery in Monterey, a laid-back beer garden where kids and dogs are always welcome, or a front-row seat to the craft behind your pint, our brewpub is where tradition meets innovation—one batch at a time.
