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!

Sampled from bottle at "Hooghe Noorden Tasting 2025". Opaque black color, small off-white. Aroma is meh, way too much soy sauce. Don't like it. Flavor is malts, quite sweet, some spices, vanilla, pecan notes, boozy still. Hmm not really my thing. Too heavy for me.

Poured from an undated 16 oz can.
Aroma is hop forward with dank, oily, resin notes balanced passion fruit, berry, and tropical citrus. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a clear, golden color with a medium large, medium thick, frothy, white head that recedes steadily to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and small legs.
Flavor is slightly sweet with a moderate cracker malt note. Fairly strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong oily pine resin and grapefruit pith hop notes with light berry, passion fruit and tropical citrus notes.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid West Coast IPA. A mush fruitier hop aroma while the hoo flavor has an assertive bitterness and more traditional West Coast hop notes of pine and grapefruit. Nice malt notes balance the bitterness and the alcohol is well hidden.

Can shared at tasting. Hazy yellow color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are wheat, softly malts, hoppy, citrusy, a bit bitter and slightly metallic. Okay. Not great though.
