2. Cellarmaker Brewing Company

San Francisco, California, United States

We are an Oakland brewery producing our beers in small batches one beer at a time. It is our goal to keep your taste buds intrigued by constantly producing different flavors. To us, making the same 3-4 beers all the time would be boring. We hope you feel the same way. Our limited output and choice to abandon the common concept of a set production schedule will allow us to constantly experiment with different hops, barrels, and yeasts.

3. Barebottle Brewing Company

San Francisco, California, United States

Our philosophy and process are pretty simple: 1) Use the things that inspire us every day from the SF/Bay Area as the foundation for each new beer we make. 2) Inspire our merry band of super-talented brewing comrades (which includes our head brewer, the founders, and some of the bay areaโ€™s best homebrewers) to create new beers. 3) Just like in regular competitions, we pilot-brew a select group of the best finalist beers and ask visitors to the brewery to cast their vote for their favorite beer. May the best beer always win. We believe that this approach will lead to some incredible beers, and we hope you are eager to help us try some of them.

10. Armistice Brewing Company

Richmond, California, United States

Armistice Brewing Company is a sibling-owned and operated brewery that takes a decidedly experimental approach to brewing. We specialize in highly aromatic, juicy, hazy IPAs with hardly any bitterness. We rarely brew the same beer twice, and our constantly-changing lineup often features silky smooth milkshake IPAs, PiePAs, fruit-forward juice bombs, big stouts, and beers that border on the ineffable due to their use of innovative local ingredients and methods. Most of our beers transcend style boundaries, but we also suffer from a perennial and unprofitable passion for traditional English-style ales, which manifests as an ongoing flirtation with commercial suicide. We can what we can, and when we do, they often sell out on release day, so please buy yours online through the pre-sale to guarantee your pickup. And if you miss out on a release, relax. Weโ€™re not curing cancer or ending climate change over here. Itโ€™s just beer.
