Pretty Pretty Pils, Cellarmaker (4pk)

About the Brewery

Cellarmaker Brewing Company started in San Francisco’s SoMa in 2013 with a simple obsession: beer doesn’t finish on brew day—it becomes itself in the cellar. That “cellarmaker” idea isn’t branding fluff; it’s the through-line in everything they do, from hop-saturated pale ales and IPAs to the kind of mixed-fermentation and saison experiments that reward repeat visits. The team’s approach is famously iterative (new beers, tweaks, re-thinks), and the result is a lineup that’s equal parts technical and playful—built for people who like their pints loud, fresh, and dialed-in.

In Oakland, Cellarmaker planted a flag at 300 Webster Street near Jack London Square, turning a big industrial space into a destination that pairs their beer with pizza under the “House of Pizza” banner. And if you like your beer journey with a left turn into the funky lane, Cellarmaker’s 2022 takeover of Berkeley’s The Rare Barrel folded world-class sour and barrel-aged brewing into the broader family—so “one brewery” can mean a lot of styles, depending on which tap list you’re staring at.
