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 @ Mikkeller Bar Victoriagade. Pours tiny hazy pale golden with a frothy white head that leaves lots of spotty trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is slightly fruity, spicy, estery and slightly phenolic with crackers, pears, strawberries, hay, dry soil, white pepper corns, barnyard, lemon zest and hints of sheet metal. Taste is tiny sour, tiny bitter, slightly fruity, slightly spicy and slightly funky. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry, tiny tart and light bodied. Finish is tiny sour and tiny bitter with crackers, lemon juice, pears, hay, dry soil, white pepper corns, barnyard, lemon zest and hints of sheet metal. Solid refreshing saison. Bit too heavy on the pear esters to be perfect but all in all good.

Draught @ Mikkeller Bar Victoriagade. Pours pitch black with a small mocha head that leaves some sparse trace and subtle legs on the glass while dissipating. Smell is malty and tiny fruity with roasted malts, pumpernickel bread, burnt caramel, dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, dried bilberries, smoked charcutries, ketjap manis, hay, moist soil and alcohol. Taste is sweet, bitter and malty. Mouthfeel is round, tiny viscous, tiny roasted astringent, tiny boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with roasted malts, burnt caramel, brown sugar sweetened espresso coffee, dark chocolate, moist soil and hints of alcohol. Possibly a bit too sweet. Just above the threshold for me. Still a very good imperial stout though.
