The story of the United States can be told through the buildings, landscapes, and cities that comprise SAH Archipedia. Booth’s business and holdings were purchased by the Edgewater Packing Company in the 1940s. In 1895, Booth founded a salmon canning factory on Alvarado Street in Monterey, which was an early pioneer in the city’s canning industry. Booth Reduction Plant, an example of a brick industrial architecture from the postwar period, is a rare example. Whether you’re a local looking for a new neighborhood hangout or a tourist looking for a unique place to enjoy a beer, Cannery Row Brewing Company is the perfect spot to enjoy a pint or two. The taproom also features a full kitchen, serving up a menu of pub favorites with a California twist. The Cannery Row Brewing Company taproom is open seven days a week, offering a rotating selection of their own beers, as well as guest taps from other local breweries. Just like the Cannery Row of Steinbeck’s day, the brewery is located in a former cannery building that has been repurposed for modern use. The Lawsons named the brewery after John Steinbeck’s classic novel, Cannery Row, which is set in Monterey during the height of the sardine canning industry. The brewery was founded in 2014 by husband and wife team, Mike and Jodi Lawson, with the goal of creating a gathering place for the community to enjoy fresh, locally-brewed beer.

Cannery Row Brewing Company is a family-owned and operated brewery located in the historic Cannery Row district of Monterey, California.
