Well known San Francisco, CA. brewery Cellarmaker took to social media. If hearing the news dropped by Sante Adairius wasn’t enough the well known Howard Street location is officially closing at the end of this year. But SF residents don’t worry the Cellarmaker house of pizza location will still be around to enjoy their beer and Detroit style pizzas. Here is what Cellarmaker had to say via instagram…
We’ve been close friends with the The Rare Barrel crew since before their brand and ours launched in 2013 and have worked together closely throughout the past decade on various collaboration beers, traveled to events together and even celebrated our 5 year anniversaries together. It’s been a privilege to consider them friends and colleagues. We will continue the Rare Barrel brand and product line in addition to using the brewery in their facility to provide an increased presence of Cellarmaker beer throughout the Bay. More Pale Ales. More Lagers. More Barrel Aged Barleywine!
In the most bittersweet way, our lease at our Howard Street location is coming to an end and we’ve been unable to reach any reasonable agreement with our landlord to move forward. In all honesty, we outgrew the Howard Street space a long time ago despite continuing operations there. We’ve been on the hunt for a larger location to grow the brand for some time, the TRB space in Berkeley is just what we need. The decision to close Howard Street is not something we took lightly and was incredibly difficult.
We sincerely appreciate each and every one of you that has visited us at our Howard Street location over the past 9 years. We will continue to operate the tasting room through the end of December and hope you’ll join us for one (or three) final beers before we say goodbye to our original flagship location.
The House of Pizza in Bernal Heights is not going anywhere and will continue to operate, serving as our San Francisco location. Please continue to visit us there for our Detroit Style Square Pies and Cellarmaker beer.
