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 10, 2023. Aroma is hop forward with a lot of grapefruit, tropical citrus and tangerine. Lighter notes of gooseberry and passion fruit. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes. Pours a clear, yellow-gold color with a medium large, fairly thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers on the edges. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong hop notes of grapefruit and tropical citrus with lighter notes of berry, gooseberry and passion fruit. Hints of stone fruit and some lingering dank, resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid West Coast IPA. Fairly malty, but with a light cracker malt profile. A decent amount of sweetness balances the bitterness and accentuates the fruity, citrus hop notes.
