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 July 05, 2023. Aroma is moderately hop forward with notes of passion fruit, stone fruit, tropical citrus and lighter dank, oily resin notes. Light grain notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a slightly hazy, golden orange with a medium large, medium thick, white head that recedes steadily to the edges where it lingers in clumps. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Medium light hop notes of storm fruit, especially peach and nectarine, passion fruit, tropical citrus and lighter dank, oily resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid pale ale. Balanced malt notes and bitterness with well hidden alcohol notes. Hop aroma is fine, but the hop flavor is great with tons of stone fruit.

Pint can - labeled 7.7% - dark brown pour - moderate lace - heavy on the coffee, with some cream sweetness, chocolate - mild smoke, but deep, almost burnt roastiness - nose presents much more smoke than the flavor, leaving me a little disappointed - nicely creamy and soft texture - earthy maltiness throughout - a mixed bag, but ultimately enjoyable.

Thanks David for sharing! Taster showing very slightly tinged vinous purple with half a finger of clean white foam.
The nose shows intense Brett and light oak.
The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied. Moderately tart and bramble forward with black forest fruits. Light Brett throughout.
