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!

Pint can. Mango aroma with notes of lemon, lime, tropical punch, grapefruit and some pine resiny hops. Pours hazy golden colored with a large, soapy white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with juicy mango, tropical punch and lemon citrus flavors. Finishes dry but still quite smooth with lime, grapefruit and pine resiny hop flavors. Pretty good.

Aroma is hop forward with notes of tropical citrus, grapefruit, berry and a bit or tropical fruit. Light dank, oily notes. Light cracker malt notes and a touch of alcohol.
Pours a hazy, dull, murky, dusty straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Light lacing and faint legs.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid hazy pale ale. Hop notes in the flavor are a bit fruitier than in the aroma. Nice hop character overall, but the flavor is better than the aroma. Decent malt profile and a bit more bitter than I was expecting. Not as sweet as I was expecting.
