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!

From tap at Cellarmaker, San Francisco. Aroma is tart fruits, tart lemon, light bready malt, touch of yeast, grass. Flavour is nicely sour and tart. Body is medium. Pretty light on the Saison yeast character, but a good sour Saison-ish beer.

From tap at Cellarmaker, San Francisco. Aroma is smooth coffee, subtle smoke, lactic creamy, mocha, chocolate. Flavour is mild sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with a creamy texture. Damn amazing Porter, the Imperial variety will probably destroy me. This is god-tier level drinkability and balance.

From tap at Cellarmaker, San Francisco. Aroma is very grainy with straw and biscuity malt. Hint of noble hops. Mild sweet and bitter. Body is medium. A very fine specimen of Helles far, far from Germania.

From tap at Cellarmaker, San Francisco. Aroma is peppery saison yeast, citrussy fruits, bready malt. Touch of bubble gum. Light tart and sweet, dry finish. Body is medium. Kinda Dupont-like, no surprise they used their yeast. Good.
