Bummer. I'll be there this weekend and was hoping to get some.

Do you know what they are filling right now?

Tim's Brown, Fake Gold, Rye Be Bitter, and maybe Questionable Origins 3?

Hey Guys,
Connor from Cellarmaker here. What we do is allocate a certain amount of each beer to hopefully last until the next release of a similar style. That's why we'll cut off growler fills (not pulling them just for the sake of pulling them). We don't want to hit the weekend and only have Saison, Stout and Blonde on tap. If we don't have another IPA coming out for 5 more days and only have 1-2 kegs left of IPA we'll probably cut off growlers for the sake of the tasting room's taplist...#1 priority. Basically the goal is get as much fresh hoppy beer into the hands of people right away by offering growlers until we hit that point of needing the remainder to last until the next beer of that similar style.

We did have growler fills of Danker Zone and Bangerang for about 6 days each. At that point we realized that we needed to hang on to the rest for the sake of the tasting room's draft selection. I will try to integrate a "current growler fills" widget into the website sooner than later.

Thank you for all of the positive response and support you guys have given our brewery. Tim and I really appreciate it. We're grateful to be able to make beer for the fine people of the Bay Area.

Next week we have a new IPA and Pale coming out that'll both be on growler fills for hopefully at least a week. Week after that has another IPA and Pale backing them up... lots of hops. Cheers!

Questionable Origins #3 will be on growler fill all weekend long as we have a new Pale hitting the taps on Tuesday. Cheers Pete!

damn, I need to get over to cellarmaker!

Was at the Levi's Stadium open house today. Under "Draft Beer" at the Tap House they had listed "Cellar Maker". I asked the guy what Cellar Maker beer was on tap and he just got confused and tried to sell me other stuff.

I realize they're feeling out their system too, but that will be awesome to be able to get great, local stuff there. Just not sure what it'll be!

It looks like Hopfather and Compunction are gone already, ****! I got to try Compunction but I've still never tried Hopfather

My wife brought home a hopfather growler. Delicious. Although Penniwisdom and CellarmakerTim are making better hoppy beer.

Yeah, was in Sonoma then ended up at RR yesterday. They've actually decreased the wait for getting a table, but took ******* forever for a flight to show up. Happy Hops and temptation were both pretty nice, but really wanted Hopfather and Compunction.

Oude Tart with Cherries is fantastic and any RS members who don't want their full allotment... Lemme know!

I don't want any

 

[ABSTRACTlegend]

I don't want any

[drgarage1]

I don't want any

Me either!

 

[CharlieMurphy1]

Ill buy a full allotment, bring it to Mikkeller bar, and you & falc0n2600 can fight over it while I play dice outside with the locals

 

[CharlieMurphy1]

Btw did anyone happen to go to Mikkeller Thursday for Arizona Wilderness' taps? Wondering if they're that good or if Arizona is FL and TX's younger sibling.

Someone took a growler of their Berliner to our bottleshare at FWIBF and I remember it being terrible. Cheesy popcorn. Though a few people said they liked it, I couldn't finish a 4 oz pour of it. Haven't tried anything of theirs since

They sold out of everything right before I had chance to get any of it at Mikkeller...

Same beer, same result at the Sara Anniv party - Bear Wallow Berliner was not to anyone's liking...

EDIT: It looks like they have done a few different fruited versions of this beer, so it is possible we are talking about "different" beers

 

[drgarage1]

So the Mikkeller anniversary party is at the same date/time as Toronado anniversary. Oh, my.

Saturday, August 9th?

Easy decision

Bottles, bruh.

 

[matedog]

Bottles, bruh.

Same day as Outside Lands. Damn. I got some good **** last year though.

I'm actually heading up to Sonoma County that day (doing a century ride on Sunday, so spending the night). Need to see if I can at least get in line for bottles and one or two on tap...

 

[RyanG1]

Bottles, bruh.

What kind of bottle(s)? I was looking forward just to what was on tap (at Toronado of course!)

 

[bdogg1]

well I will be missing this as I will be on the lake.

 

[ABSTRACTlegend]

Bottle/draft release Saturday 8/2 at 2PM: ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS Each 750mL bottle is priced at $30, with a limit of (3) per person for the first 100 people and (2) per person after that on Saturday.

Damn 30$ a bottle, that's seems pretty expensive

 

[RyanG1]

Damn 30$ a bottle, that's seems pretty expensive

But it is a dark sour!

Skipped the Sirius? allotment and probably this, too.

 

[abecall98]

Not a fan of these expensive ass bottles. I really only want to go to try it on tap though. I wonder how good it is to justify the price.

 

[bdogg1]

Are they just taking advantage of the sellers market right now? that is very steep IMO. And how many bottles do they have if they are giving out 300 potentially right out of the gate?
