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!

Can. Pours a clear orange hue with a medium white head. Sweet, juicy nose. Ripe tropical fruit, toast, vanilla, sweet tropical notes like passionfruit, mango. Not citrus forward. Really tastes like a hazy, not a W Coast.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated June 18, 2024. Aroma is fairly hop forward with nice stone fruit, pineapple and citrus notes. Lighter dank, resin notes with a bit of pine. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a slightly hazy, bright, yellow-gold with a medium sized, moderately thick, white head that recedes quickly to the edges and disappears. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes of pine and dank resin notes. Lighter citrus and pineapple notes with faint stone fruit. Lingering hop bitterness and pine resin in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid West Coast IPA full of dank, resinous hop notes. A bit fruitier aroma. Alcohol is well hidden behind the bitterness. Decent malt profile to carry the bitterness and alcohol.

Given how much I care about UT, not idea if nitro is actually a separate rating. Pitch black color. Big frothy light brown head. Fresh coffee poured into a medium heavy stout. Silky sweet. Not overly complex but nice.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Opaque dark brown color. Small creamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and coconut. Flavor is more of the same; sweet roasted malt, coffee and coconut. Added notes of chocolate make you reminisce of a Mounds candy bar. Tasty indeed.
