USA, CA: Cellarmaker Brewing Co. to close its original location, move to East Bay
The new year will bring some big changes to whats arguably San Franciscos best brewery. According to an Instagram post on November 17, Cellarmaker Brewing Co. will close its original Howard Street location at the end of the year and move its production to the East Bay, the Eater San Francisco reported.
The brewery has acquired Berkeleys the Rare Barrel, which opened in 2013 as a sour-beer lovers paradise. The post explains that while Cellarmaker will transition to brewing its beer out of the Rare Barrel space, itll continue to produce the Rare Barrel product line out of the facility, too.
Cellarmakers House of Pizza in Bernal Heights will remain open; that restaurant and taproom opened in 2019 bringing crispy-edged Detroit-style pizza to the neighborhood along with a full lineup of the brewerys pale ales and IPAs.
An Oakland outpost is also in the works and according to the Instagram announcement, should open in February 2023. The brewery plans to debut that location before turning its attention to the Berkeley Rare Barrel taproom, which they hope to reopen later in the spring.
