MaureenOctober 4, 2016One of the better breweries in the SF area. Excellent range of styles using very fresh ingredients and with some truly beautiful beers. Hop yeah!
Best hoppy beer in San Francisco. They'll fill just about any growler you have as long as you tape over any logos etc. Wish they stayed open a bit later though; closing time is 11 on Fri and Sat.
Best brewery in SF. Amazing line-up of beers along with a great food truck schedule. Not only do they offer growler fills in 750ml, 32oz 64oz sizes, they also fill amber hued ones from other places.
Drew MilamNovember 21, 2017Best brewery in San Francisco! Small space, but great beers. Try them all or just stick to the IPAs.
Kirk HerlitzAugust 22, 2014Some of the best pale ales I've ever had. They bring out huge hop flavor, but temper the bitterness that you usually get in an IPA with this much hop floralness and flavor.
Get anything, and especially anything hoppy. This place proves the value of freshness for hop-forward beers. If you like hops, and you're in the Bay Area, you cannot pass up Cellamaker.
Serious EatsAugust 28, 2014Beers are available in 5-ounce tasters if you want to taste your way through the lineup, and you can also take a growler of your favorite beer home. Read more
Untapped CitiesJune 7, 2016Cellarmaker has no food but its beer offerings are no less interesting for it and they change all the time. Beer aficionados can order 5 oz glasses at about $2.50 a pop and sample the entire menu. Read more
Chris EdwardsAugust 9, 2014Consistently delicious dark beers, ranging from light, nutty, low ABV porters all the way to the mighty limited release Coffee & Cigarettes brewed with Sightglass coffee. Get a growler while you can!
Alex RobershotteDecember 28, 2018Beer list constantly changes but what remains constant is fruit forward hop profiles, lower ibu and a focus on yeast strains. go for the crushable ipas and stay for the sours and stouts
Leah W.June 27, 2015I always love the vibe here, and love getting the sampler! They have a little snack to buy like beef jerky and chips.
A young brewery with a lot of talent in the lab. Anything you get will be good-to-great, but Dankster, Mad Nibs, and Coffee & Cigarettes are outstanding.
Really solid beer—sometimes the crowd can border on being too snobby, and it can get crazy crowded, but the quality of the brews makes it all worth it.
Christine WuOctober 25, 2014As a hefe and ale drinker I found that I love the double dobis. Wonderful recommendations and cool space!
- Serious EatsFebruary 20, 2014The tasting room is small but comfortable and there's typically a food truck parked out front. Try the pale ales and IPAs.
Simply awesome. World-class, hop forward beers with an impeccable tasting room to match. Small batch, so the rotation turns over rapidly.
Beer 47December 9, 2014Right around the corner from City Beer Store, this brewery makes some of the best beer in San Francisco and Northern California.
Ali AndersonJanuary 27, 2014awesome venue and great beer; ask the bartender for a tour of the brew-magic.
John CassilloSeptember 7, 2017Probably SF's best brewery. Hoppy beers and reasonable pricing for the city. Would go back anytime.
Drink an IPA. Any of them. Seriously. These guys are masters of the West Coast IPA. Dank, citrusy, tasty as all hell. You literally can't go wrong!
CamillaJuly 30, 2018Delicious beers. A must for any beer connoisseur! Does not serve food, but allows outside food/delivery.
Christine CoolieoAugust 7, 2014New favorite brewery. So glad I found this place and their delicious beer. My favorite is the American Brown.- Chris EdwardsJune 13, 2015If you're hungry, you can get food delivered straight here and pair it with one of the many styles of beer on offer.
NikoNovember 20, 2013Little pricy, but they do take cards and the beer is innovative and delicious. Get a growler for best value!
These folks are wizards with hops, lower bitterness, big flavor. Plus their porters and stouts are top notch.
Rune IsachsenJuly 29, 2018Incredibly good beer. This little hole in the wall is a must for any beer connoisseur.
Coffee and Cigarettes is an excellent … it's smokey and roasty just like cigarettes and coffee. Definitely worth a try.
Pavan KulkarniJune 5, 2016IPA s here are one of the best, also try the coffee and cigarettes really good.
Melon LSeptember 10, 2017Lots of different kinds of beers and you can do taster sizes of any of them.
Moe DexlerApril 18, 2019Go with the flight. You get several beers that are each 5oz. Thanks me later.
Great beer most of the time, but sometimes you'll hit a stinker because they are constantly trying new recipes.
Their beers are really good. Samplers are a little pricey. Really nice people!
Mikahla VicinoOctober 20, 2018Order 4 oz pours to create your dream flight. Nine pours was a great amount for two of us.
Always a place to start conversations with strangers and good beers to boot.
So many good IPAs, Stouts with great service and wonderful atmosphere
Dan KimMay 5, 2014The Dank Statement is hop explosion in every sip. It is surprisingly quite drinkable and has great flavor and aroma.
Chuck RoslofNovember 8, 2015They've got outstanding IPAs AND outstanding dark beers; they're like a West Coast unicorn.
