Alvarado Street Brewery is proud to announce the opening of their new beer garden. The open air, pavilion-like structure, located outdoors behind the restaurant, features six picnic-style tables and a lounge space complete with adjoining fire pits.
“We wanted a casual space where locals and guests could come in, have a beer, and relax in an outdoor setting,” said JC Hill, Head Brewer and Co-Founder of Alvarado Street Brewery. Hill explained that part of the casual theme is the counter-service ordering process where guests can order any of the twelve beers available as well as certain restaurant menu items such as the Alvarado burger, garlic fries, or one of Chef Jeremiah Tydeman’s smoked BBQ creations such as ribs, brisket, short ribs, or pulled pork (each of which will be available on different days of the week). High demand for BBQ and limited supply will limit the BBQ menu solely to the beer garden for now.
For serving beer in the garden, Hill has selected a 16 ounce stainless steel cup as the pint vessel of choice because it protects the beer from sunlight, which can cause a reaction and lead to a “skunky” aroma (think Corona without a lime).
