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!

Draught at Ale Arsenal. Man - I feel like i missed the boat on this one. I received a puckering, over ripe juice that lacked the backbone to carry through it all.

On tap at Cellarmaker. Opaque jet black coloured pour with a lasting loose dark tan head. Aroma is insanely good, pungent vanilla, oak, smooth roast coffee, nice toasted coconut, cocoa, creme caramel. Flavour is composed of initially, sweet creme caramel, then ashy roast coffee, boozy Bourbon, little solvent. Palate is medium full, solvent, hot, moderate carbonation, semi sweet. Very impressed with this. Particularly the aroma .

On tap at Cellarmaker. Clouded golden orange coloured pour with a lasting cream froth. Aroma is super juicy, nice pungent citrus, tropical fruit, orange and some onion. Hop soup. Flavour is composed of sticky sweet resinous tropical and dank citrus hop, some onion chivey character. Palate is medium full, sticky resinous hop. moderate carbonation on the tongue. Hides the high abv well. Pretty good. Aggressively bitter, but well balanced over all.
