Description
Cellarmaker Brewing Company has been in the works for quite some time. Look for our beers to start making their way around better known beer bars and beer focused restaurants in San Francisco starting in September.

We have a tasting room in the same building as the brewery and will offer tasters, pints, and growlers. Some beers may be bottled further down the line but for now it's all draft. The only way you can take our beer away is in the form of a growler - which by the way, is a great way to drink beer!

Look for a focus of plenty of hoppy beers, belgian-style saisons, dark beers, and sour beers. We are huge fans of wine and bourbon barrel aged beers as well so it's only natural for us to have a barrel program. Think bourbon barrels loaded with big chewy imperial stouts, excessively hopped IPAs, fruited sour beers, and funky saisons. This is what we love. This is what we are all about. We hope you are too!

Please follow along for the ride as we build San Francisco's next great brewery.
Cheers!

Can purchased at Out of the Barrel. Clear yellow with small white head. Overt dank grass aroma. Flavor is grassy and interesting fruit. I normally don’t like Citra - but the beer description is spot on in that this does not have some of the butyric aspects that I get from single-hop Citras.

Tap at Out of the Barrel in San Carlos. Dank, surprisingly smooth and a great homage to the original ASB blend. The 9% is pretty well hidden as well.

Pint can from Bottlecraft North Park. Luggage trip home & asleep for a few weeks in the fridge.

Pint glass. Black on brown molasses pour with a uniform tan head.
Dense fudge & berry nose. Very mild beechwood. Tiny whiff of soap.
Sooty, bittersweet leaning sweet. Burnt cookies & sharp n acidic mocha coffee. Lingering burnt sugar char with some cocoa butter. Some dark berry acidity on the backwash. Lingering ashy bitterness. Very stout.
Frothy, boozy, almost twangy acid mixed with the earthy bitterness makes me confused about the pH. Wanted less coffee & more smoke.

Have had better smoked porters.

Sweetish and slightly roasty with some maltiness, bourbon, toffee, vanilla, cocoa and coconut. Pretty nice.
