Breakout Brewer: Cellarmaker Brewing

Cellarmaker Brewing Company is one of the most cellar-focused craft breweries in San Francisco, if not the country, and accordingly named. They’ve built a reputation as a Bay Area institution in less than three years.

Meet your makers—Tim Sciascia, Connor Casey, and Kelly Caveney. This trio founded Cellarmaker Brewing Company in San Francisco’s SoMa district in 2013. Their business is built around the idea that great beer isn’t just made on brew day; it’s developed over time during fermentation and aging.

“The growing mantra around here is that beer is truly formed in the cellar over days, weeks, months, and years with less importance being placed on the actual brew day,” says Tim Sciascia. “‘Cellarmaker’ is a play off that idea.”

Sciascia graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music in his hometown Boston with a degree in classical saxophone performance. “During those years, I began homebrewing and formed an insatiable taste for everything beer. After college, I began giving tours at the Sam Adams Boston Brewery. I was hooked from then on out.”
