Cellarmaker Brewing Company

  • Simmer Dim - Scotch BA Barleywine A unique and first of its kind project, Simmer Dim is the first beer in the United States to be aged in scotch whiskey barrels from Highland Park Distillery located on the island of Orkney in Scotland. This Barleywine was skillfully crafted with almost 90% Scottish malted barley from Simpson’s Malt, which is also one of the malts that Highland Park incorporates in their whiskey. During aging in the oak, which formerly held Spanish sherry before Highland Park, the beer develops intensely rich attributes resembling toffee and dried fig and date. The peat smoke of the scotch imbues Simmer Dim with the most intriguing campfire background that plays nicely with some boozy heat. 14%
  • Adam's Parachute - Brett Saison Adams Parachute is a collaborative brew with Casey Brewing and Blending that focuses on locally sourced ingredients. For this Brett Saison we sourced our malted barley, oats and rye from Alameda’s Admiral Maltings, Triple Pearl hops from Hoppin’ Raccoon Ranch south of Sacramento in Clarksburg, CA and yeast and brettanomyces from The Yeast Bay. The beer was brewed and fermented in stainless and then bottle conditioned for 10 months before release. The result is redolent of Spanish orange and white wine with some Brett funk. The flavor is pleasantly tart and layered with eucalyptus candy, rustic grains, tamarind and spicy hops. 6.4%

  • String Theory Pink Guava Strawberry
    Farmhouse Ale - Saison.
    String Theory uses a special version of our farmhouse mixed culture along with white wheat and strata hops before being conditioned on pink guava and strawberry.
    Pouring bright pink, this beer releases notes and flavors of bright crushed berry jam, tart guava, strawberry jolly ranchers, and tropical fruit rollsups supported by an elegant bready and floral backbone. String Theory Pink Guava Strawberry is fruity yet contains zero residual sugars, and it is low in carbs. This generates a crisp, dry, and exceptional drinking experience with a beautifully balanced acidity and lingering minerality.
    5% ABV
  • Barrel Aged Maple Dream Dessert BA Imperial Stout w/ Maple Coated Peanuts, Maple Syrup, Coconut, Marshmallow and Madagascar Vanilla. 17% ABV
  • Austin Plum (2022) Austin is a farmhouse ale built by the inspiration to share beer with people close to heart. It is pale, tart, delicate, and complex with a bit of pleasant funk. We took part of our latest batch of Austin and refermented it on plums at a rate of more than 2 lbs of fruit per gallon. Following bottling, Austin Plum was bottle conditioned for several months before being made available today. The result offers a soft and balanced plum character that includes flavors of the sweet fruit flesh and nuanced elements of the tart skin. The flavors are all boosted by the expression of our microorganisms and wrapped up in a incredibly gentle and balanced acidity. 6%

  • Stout Discussions Collab w/ @sideprojectbrew // A Side Project-Style Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels for 18 Months, 15.2% abv
    Back in March of 2022 we had the absolute pleasure to host Cory King of Side Project, who is an absolute LEGEND and known worldwide for making some of the best barrel aged stouts that have ever graced your lips. We were the students as Cory taught us how he likes to make his style of yummy stouts; from the specialty grains and bourbon barrels needed, to all of the little details that one could only hope to learn in a lifetime of making this style of beer. We learned so much that day! After 18 months of aging in freshly emptied bourbon barrels, we tasted through the 16 different oak barrels that we had made of this beer and only used the absolute cream of the crop, bringing it down to a blend of only 3 oak barrels in the end. We chose barrels that gave the beer big vanilla bean and dark chocolate vibes, along with a toasted pecan oakiness that balanced out all that sweetness from the stout. Rich, very full-bodied, and lovingly decadent, we recommend serving this one at 50f or even higher.
