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!

On tap at Trappist Provisions. It pours a deep golden orange color with an off white head. The aroma is balanced between herbal hops, light fruit esters and toasted malt. Very pleasant,. The flavor is the same. Very clean toasted, lightly caramel malt with some strong herbal hop flavor and bitterness. Hints of fruity fermentation esters, but very much in the background. Super easy to drink and subtly complex. A very different beer for Cellarmaker, but a winner regardless.
