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!

Tap. Pours clear pale gold, medium white head, good lacing. Aroma is room filling, huge tropical fruits and dankness. Flavor is a bit less, but still a pleasant mix of exotic fruits and citrus. Light sweet, and light bitter. Fairly light body as well.

Growler shared in London - many thanks to Fergus for this treat! Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a foamy white head. Big, dank hop aroma, piss, pine, peach. Medium sweet flavor with drying minerality, melon, mango, more pee, pale bread, faint grass. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pleasantly bitter in the finish, some pine, resin, light alcohol warmth, pale bread, pithy grapefruit. Superb stuff. True, vibrant hop expression. Hugely drinkable. World-class.

Growler massive thanks to Fergus. It pours very lightly hazy gold with a small white head. The nose is fresh, juicy, fragrant, grassy, danky stank, spice, orange cream, cream soda, tangerine and bergamot. The taste is crisp, clean, dry, orange peel, freshly cut grass, dank, minerals, peppery spice, cracker and straw with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Crisp and crushable. Dank stank drank. Tasty.

Growler shared in London - massive thanks to Fergus for this one! Pours crystal clear yellow-gold with a frothy white head. Vibrant, fresh and juicy hop aroma, melon, slight vanilla, peach. Light-medium sweet flavor with relaxed pale bread sugars, more melon, papaya, tangerine, mellow bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish, continuing peach, a little pee, melon, pale bread, slight pine. Supple, nuanced and amazingly drinkable.

Growler big thanks to Fergus. It pours clear dark yellow - gold with a decent white head. The nose is big freshness, stinky sorachi ace, bubblegum, aniseed, light menthol and a hint of citrus peel. The taste is crisp, dry, clean, grapefruit peel, straw, minerals, lemon peel, light spice and wood with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Fresh and clean. Decent even if I don’t like Sorachi.
