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!

Draft at Gourmat Haus as part of SF Beer Week. This was the best of East Bay day in my opinion. So good! Still hard for me to think of Cellarmaker as an East Bay brewer - but this is great!

From Good Times Oakland, no dating on the can.
Pours a cloudy yellow, finger of foam, good retention and lacing.
Smell is dank, piney, tropical fruit, juicy.
Taste is pine, orange peel, mango, really dank, juicy as heck. It does wear on my palate after a while.
Medium bodied, I would not bother to get this again.

Shared with Josh at Festival of Dark Arts 2026 in Astoria, OR.
Thick, sweet, loaf coconut, bold. A bit meaty. Very nice, though.

Aromas are citrus, resin and a little gamey. Flavors are similar to nose, good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Add in some MJ. Full-bodied with good carbonation. Slightly sweet finish. Nice.
