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 the brewery. Aroma has a lot of tropical fruit and lighter citrus with a cracker malt background character. Some light phenolic notes. Pours a very hazy, pale gold with a small, white head that lingers for quite some time on the edges. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is fairly tropical fruit forward with some light cracker malt notes and a hint of sweetness. Some medium light citrus and some tropical fruit in the finish. A dry finish with some light phenolic notes. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice very cloudy Brett IPA but it has a bit too much phenolics in the finish for me. Great tropical fruit notes.
