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!

The beer is a bright yellow gold. Pretty much clear. Smallish white head. The aroma is full of juicy hop flavor. Big on grape, tangerine, pineapple, mango, papaya, blackberry, wildflowers. Really nice stuff. Pretty mild malt sweetness. It’s there in a beer of this size but doesn’t get in the way at all. Mild bitterness. Tons of hop flavor in the taste. Excellent flavor. Some malt sugariness, again pretty much just there for the hops. Mouth coating hoppiness. Long lasting aftertaste of hop fruitiness. Smooth. Easy to drink.

The beer is a bright, light amber gold. Looks pretty clear. Solid white head. Very beery looking. The aroma has a ton of sweet fruity hops. Strawberry, melon, blackberry, papaya, kiwi, a little tangerine, big mango. Great aroma. Very mild malt character. Mild to moderate bitterness. Just hop flavor. Tons of mango and melon and kiwi. Very smooth and easy to drink. Lots of hop oiliness. Letting it warm up a bit helps really bring out those interesting hop flavors.

The beer is a slightly orangey tan yellow color. It’s quite cloudy. Medium white head. Some lacing. The aroma has a nice sweet tropical fruit hoppiness with a little bit of crackery malt underneath. Hops could be a bit juicier. Grape, mango, sweet pineapple juice, strawberry, blackberry, tangerine. Good stuff. It’s moderately bitter. A bit grassy on the palate but the fruitiness is there. Pretty dry. Easy to drink. Refreshing. Light, dry feel with a lingering hop presence.
