We are happy to announce that Alvarado Street Brewery's Howzit Punch has won Gold in the Fruited American-Style Sour Ale category at the 2026 World Beer Cup...for the second year in a row!

Alvarado Street Brewery's team didn’t do anything special for the competition - this POG sour loaded with passionfruit, orange, and guava was just doing its thing. It went straight off the canning line and into the show. It's the same beer you’ve been drinking!

Congratulations to the amazing Alvarado Street Brewery production team! Visit Alvarado Street Brewery and Grill at 426 Alvarado Street in Downtown Monterey to try Howzit Punch and many more amazing beers.
