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!

On a flight at the Rock-In Bar (inside Whole Foods, Laguna Niguel) on 26th June 2024. Cloudy golden body, white affair on top. Dank and dry feel to this, like a hoppy white wine with knobs on.

Pint can de et partagée avec Tderoeck. Merci !
Canned 03 June 2024.
Dorée pâle, col crémeux blanc.
Arôme est chargé en houblon – effet de humer un sac frais de houblon – ici c’est chargé en résine, hop oil, pin avec ce bouquet signature de Nelson, à savoir le côté ‘vin blanc’, qui reste plutôt absent.
Palais est identique avec un bon niveau de ‘dankness’ – je me suis même assez étonné que cela se limite à du 100% Nelson ! Bonne dose de résine pour une bière qui oscille tout de même plus vers un style ‘double hazy’ qu’une classique DIPA. Fruité sur la fin, assez sèche en fin de bouche ce qui renforce ma sensation quant au style. In fine, reste une belle grosse IPA américaine.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Jet black pour. Frothy tan head. Aroma is dark malt, dark chocolate and dark coffee. A bit of smoke as well. Flavor is deceptively smooth. Layers of complexity start with sweet roasted malt, dark roasted coffee, bittersweet chocolate and mild smokiness. Some resiny pine hops on backend. Well made and extremely flavorful.
