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!

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy orange golden pour, small, persistent foamy white head. Aroma is a blend of orange and tangerine. Taste starts with zesty citrus, orange, tangerine. Not as thick as I would have thought.

Can, at Matt's
Blond colour, cloudy to murky, compact head. The aroma is dank; pine, incense, touch of vanilla, orange creamsicle. Good body, mild residual sweetness, creamy mouthfeel; a bit of starch, but it's not too chalky; a bit of fruit in the beginning, passion fruit, then some pith in the finish.
Pretty good.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 15, 2024. Aroma is very hop forward and fruity with tons of passion fruit, guava, tropical citrus and gooseberry. Huge waves of dank, oily hop resin. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a hazy, dull, golden straw color with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Tons of tropical citrus, passion fruit and guava with lighter notes of grapefruit and gooseberry. Quite a bit of dank, oily hop resin that lingers into the finish with the bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid, super dank, fruity, hazy DIPA. The hop kief is super noticeable. Fairly sweet malt profile but it balances out the bitterness and alcohol notes. Nice hop profile in aroma and flavor although it's a bit fruitier in the aroma.

On tap at Oakland CHoP. Aroma is hop forward with lots of orange, guava, passion fruit and tropical citrus. A bit of a dank, pine, resin note. Medium light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a clear, brilliant, gold color with a small, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately high citrus hop notes with grapefruit, tangerine and tropical citrus. Lighter guava and passion fruit notes. Some dank, pine resin that lingers into the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice IPA. Strata works well with the mosaic making for a nice citrus forward hop character with good tropical fruit notes. Somewhat crisp malt profile that makes this fairly easy drinking. --- Beer merged from original tick of Mo’ Strata on 13 May 2020 at 05:41 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5. Original review text: Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 04, 2020. Aroma is hop forward with a great profile to it. Loads of passion fruit, mango, guava, strawberry, and tropical citrus with quite a bit of a dank, resin note. Light cracker malt notes and a hint of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear, brilliant gold color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Medium light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Moderate bitterness and light alcohol notes. Rather hop forward with lots of mango, passion fruit, melon, tropical citrus and dank, resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a fun beer. The aroma is really unique and special with a great fruitiness to it that's lost a bit in the flavor.

On tap at Oakland CHoP. Aroma is moderately hop forward with nice citrus notes of orange, tangerine, grapefruit and some dank, resin notes. Light bready grain notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a clear, yellow-gold with a small, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light bready grain notes. Moderately high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate citrus hop notes of tangerine, orange and grapefruit with some dank resin that lingers into the finish.

Nice, citrusy, hop aroma and flavor with a crisp, dry malt profile. Enough bitterness that lingers into the finish to allow you to savor the beer and keep you from chugging it.
