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!

Small glass, on tap at Mikkeller Bar Viktoriagade. Hazy dark golden body, filmy layer, dotted spots on the glass. Fresh aroma of tropical fruits and bread. Likewise, the taste is very fresh and fruity with moderate tartness. A delicious fruit-bitter finish. Lightly vinous on the swallow. Well bodied. Appreciated (Copenhagen 30.04.2015).

Sample at CBC. Hoppy aroma- Taste of green tea, lemon, spices and a bit of cardboard. Odd brew, but all togheter it ends up as a quite regular saison taste.

On tap at CellarMaker. Aroma is lightly citrus l citric with some light lemon. Some light coriander and spices. Medium light pale malt notes with some medium citrus and tropical fruit hop notes. Pours a very hazy, dull, golden yellow with a small, white head that recedes to a persistent film. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is very similar to the citrus and spices notes that lingers after some nice fresh pico de gallo. Moderate bitterness with medium low pale malt notes. Nice citrus and tropical fruit hop character. Light spice in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, this works surprisingly well. The taco spice notes work well with the fruit and citrus hop notes.
