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!

Poured from a 16 oz can dated October 16, 2023.aroma is hop forward and fairly fruity with lots of passion fruit and lighter notes of gooseberry, tropical citrus and lychee. Lighter notes of berries, melon and orange. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a very clear, brilliant gold color with a medium sized, fairly thick, pillowy white head that recedes steadily to the edges where a small film lingers. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes of passion fruit, berry, gooseberry and tropical citrus. A light dank, resin note lingers into the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA. Nice, bright, fruity hop notes with a dry malt profile. Fairly bitter but not over the top. Alcohol is well hidden behind the hop notes and malt profile.

Can at 5% from Corti Bros. Pours clear gold with a huge foamy white head. Tropical aroma. Med body. Flavor is passionfruit, green melon and some citrtus. No pine. Arguably dry. Moderately bitter. Extremely good, though not strong/harsh, flavor. Very good for a 5% blonde!
