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!

Pours a clear, brilliant gold color with a medium sized, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes to a small film that lingers. Moderate lacing and faint legs.
Flavor is slightly sweet and crisp with medium cracker malt notes. Medium high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong notes of grapefruit, tangerine and dank, oily pine resin.

Tap as part of a sampler at the brewery. Black with moderate brown head. Overt ash and coffee, with the roast slightly and nicely restrained. Flavor follows the taste. Very solid.

Pint can pours with a fairly clear gold colored body that supports a nice near white head of foam. The aroma offers up tropical notes of peach, mango, cantaloupe, a bit of honeydew and then thin clouds of funky guava fighting against a bit of grapefruit. The taste delivers an initial pleasing bitter grapefruit like bitter citrus hoppiness and then slowly bleeding into mango, peach and honeydew. Nice. There's a pleasing bitter hop to sweet flavor hop balance that wasn't clear in the nose but delivers in spades here in the taste. This works. Solid.

Tap at Gourmet Haus. Pours clear light gold with white head that fades to a collar. Aroma of tropical fruit and stone fruit. Flavor is similar. Fast, dry finish adds a nice brightness to this beer.
