Cellarmaker Meetup Thread

Looks like CHOP got some feedback, & took it to heart. Pizzas down $2, beers down $1 from when I was there Sunday.

Buncha suckas, showing up for the soft open!

Yeah, I'm excited to check it in the next week or 2.

In the days of $45 pastry stout bottles, that sure is nice to see a company be reasonable.

That's quite reassuring. I get the cost of business in SF and all that, but those were possibly pound-for-pound the most expensive pizzas in the city. Even the $2-lower prices are eyebrow-raising but it's at least less insane. Def won't be eating their regularly, but happy about CHOP being an option now. Might have to break this no eating carbs nonsense next week and hit it up.

The brussels sprouts is where it's at I think, and yeah I agree the pizza is still pricy, especially when there's so many food choices around the area.

only since una pizza napoletana left...

the price for which i would have gladly paid on the daily if my wife would ever give me a pizza budget...

was stoked on CHOP when I went a couple
Sunday’s ago, and awesome that I could go with my daughter too

How does their pizza compare to in terms of other pizza joints in the city?

 

[rosetta]

I thought it was pretty good, better than Square Pie Guys which is the only other Detroit pizza I've had in SF. I think Tony's does that style too but I haven't tried it.
It was very fluffy and you could tell the ingredients are quality. Think Golden Boy but more charred and less greasy.

Do you think it's better than Golden Boy? Cause Golden Boy is my... golden standard.

I thought the execution was a bit better but Golden Boy holds a special place in my heart. I also have to try all of the flavors to compare since there's a serious lack of clam & garlic at CHOP...

Yeah, but is it Paleo?

The crust is basically what makes Golden Boy so good. Also Za's crust is awesome too. Eh... any ******* crust with a cornmeal bottom is really good to me. I really like that texture. The garlic clam is very good.

And you are usually drunk as **** when eating Golden Boy. It’s the most delicious thing at that point.

I love Golden Boy sober too. But that rarely happens

[Juncture]

No hype about the upcoming colab with Great Notion and Toppling Goliath?

I hope the rain keeps most people away so I don't need to wait in a dumb long line...

The Great Notion collab sounds gross, frankly.

i got faith in GN, i bet it will be alright...

















but it does sound gross! first time i read it i thought it was a stout

 

[Lupulin the 3rd]

A friend of mine sent me a box with a bunch of GN stuff recently. Prior to this, I had tried a few beers that I view favorably so I was excited to try all the strange fruit beers that were included in the bunch. I don't think I thought any of the beers were unpleasant, but I wouldn't search them out again. This collaboration will likely fall under the same category for me.

 

[Oaklandtraders]

Collab with TG is intriguing. Still not waiting in line. Pastry Program #3 was pretty good, and I love the 500 ml bottle sizing. Hoping they do more stout releases in the same fashion.

Are there still lines for beer in San Francisco? I naively assumed that... well, I’m not sure what I expected, exactly.

CM's regular releases typically do not have any lines, but when it's a collab or something that hasn't been released before; it's almost always a line right past the dojo.

Fieldwork always has a line, for almost every release.

 

[Juncture]

Not too bad, little heavy on the strawberry, made it a bit too tart.

That this is still the case...is weird to me.

Also, CM still had "cases" - I asked them on Twitter - at like 6 pm (edit: on Tuesday) so either a lot of other people thought they sounded gross, too, or the hype is calming down a bit on those collabs. I figured they'd be gone before the end of the workday.

 

[anvindr]

I think fieldwork continues to have lines because they have sooooo many locations. The amount of canned beer that hits each spot is pretty limited so people rush to get it before it disappears. If fieldwork was releasing cans from only 1 location then the releases would look a lot more like cellarmaker's I think

 

[pen15clubmember]

I’ve heard they let people buy a case at the San Mateo one so sometimes people that are in line get shutout. Cool system imo.
