    Beer
    Dean M.

    Tenma continues to impress with a fantastic selection of IPAs, pale ales, lagers, pilsners and helles. Brennan and Dana are celebrating the two year anniversary of the brewery's opening by continuing to produce exceptional beer. Service is from friendly and familiar faces and the vibe is always on point. Stoked to be here to celebrate and partake.

    Just the best local microbrewery. Fantastic staff and even better beer. Will hang out here every week until they outgrow the space bc they're that good. Highly recommended if you love traditional german style pilsners and west coast IPAs.

    Visited yesterday and was greeted warmly when we arrived! We had looked forward to visiting for some time so it was exciting to final be drinking their beer! The bartender was friendly and let my partner try a splash of something. We got the What Once Was Timeless Pilsner (which was really delicious, smooth) and Onward from Yesterday pale ale. Both were great! We also had their West Coast IPAs and I loved the Pulsewidth Modulation! All of our drinks were the short pours, which was just enough beer! They had a food truck, Don Taco, which had good and affordable food. The space was small, but welcoming and felt like a place you could go to with friends or hang out and have a beer with a book. Highly recommend it!

    Lots of rotating beers, always something new every time I visit! The beer menu must have many small batch creations. I especially enjoy their IPAs while I've had other great drinks as well! The customer service is great and the staff can provide their expertise if you have trouble choosing a drink! They do not have food available, but they offer suggestions on nearby food that you can bring and eat while enjoying a nice cold glass. I usually bring my take-out to eat with a beer here!

    We came here Saturday around 6:45pm. They are fairly new. They only have malty, light, and hoppy beers. We liked the Portal of Stardust Hazy IPA and A Different Tempo Hefeweizen. Only indoor seating. There's also board games for you to play. Street Parking.

    Smarties

    Perfect score, they let me take as many smarties as I wanted told me they'd toss on Slayer next time I come in and the beer is great.

    We have been here a few times and every time has been a hit. The beer is delicious. And there is a…read morepretty decent $3 beer on draft. The menu rotates maybe every few months, I'm not sure the frequency. One time I came and had some health issues where I had to eat a salad and so I ordered the salad and I was so sad about it. And it was seriously one of the most delicious salads I have ever tasted. My 8 year old daughter ordered empanadas and it was so good. The fries are also delicious every time. The last time we went, we had ghost pepper chicken wings. The person taking our order warned us it was super spicy and he struck me as the type who could handle spice. It was so spicy, sweat and tears and sinus clearance, which is the kind of spice I chase. It was wonderful. The seating area is completely outdoors and there is live music sometimes. Very dog and kid friendly and there's ample seating every time we have come even when it's busy. All the food hits every time, as well as the beer and the service. Highly recommend.

    tldr; online order wasn't available when I went to pick it up & no accommodation was offered…read more I considered not writing this but decided if I could save someone frustration from driving from afar and encountering what I did, it's worth my time. Firstly, I love GT and really enjoy their beer and visiting their taprooms. Full disclosure I'm a former professional brewer so I take beer VERY seriously! I've also worked in the service industry and understand that role. I know sh*t happens and I typically extend grace but if you know craft beer like I do you know when there's a great batch of something you love, there's nothing else like it and you will DRIVE to get it. Hop profiles shift, strike temps can differ, water chemistry varies, salts do only so much so a great batch is a great batch!! My issue is simple, when I order and pay for beer online for pickup, I expect that my beer will be there at the scheduled time. This is the second occasion that this has happened at this location, thus me writing this review. I don't have to tell anyone how rough it is driving through Bay Area traffic to pick up an order in another city and finding out once you arrive that your item isn't there. In this instance the beer-tender was extremely nonchalant and almost flippant so of course I left with a level of frustration that didn't just go away. What happened to accommodations when situations like this happen, ya know a small discount on the beer that I end up buying as a replacement. Telling me my card was refunded and you tried to call me when I have no voicemail from you isn't it. Surely my inconvenience deserves some sort of nod of acknowledgment. Overall it's an experience that leaves a bad taste, an off flavor if you will! I hope no one else encounters this and that my experiences are one-offs but I personally have very little faith that what I buy from this location will actually be there upon arrival. Better to just buy it on the spot since the convenience of ordering online doesn't seem to work out!

There is ample seating, including a small bar along the open brewery and a patio outside. We absolutely love their pizza. The Detroit style pizza is delicious and the 4 slices are easy to split between 2 people. If you're extra hungry, their Ceasar salad is really good. They always have a large selection of house brewed beers in a variety of styles; a huge reason why we love coming here. We know there will always be core beers we're familiar with along with new ones to try. Bartenders are always incredibly friendly and if it happens to be a slow day or night, conversation with them is pleasant. Definitely a gem! You can't go to Oakland without popping into Cellarmaker.

We ordered the Young Guava Be Kidding Me apple guava seltzer, which was light and refreshing, and we also tried the Fête de Pils, a French pilsner, which we weren't the biggest fans of. There was a good variety on the menu, so it felt like there were options for different preferences. We ordered a supreme pizza to go with our drinks. It ended up being much spicier than expected, which caught me off guard a bit, but the flavor was still good. The crust really stood out, with a great texture that held everything together well. Even though we only had the pizza, everything coming out of the kitchen looked really yummy and worth trying on a future visit. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making it easy to hang out for a while.

We had the dogs so we had to sit outside (dogs are not allowed inside the venue) and it was packed but we managed to share a table with a single person. Dogs loved it. We had some great beers. Area is also great because of the distance of the three breweries right there. I put Bay Area or even Northern California breweries up against any region in the US.

They had the flea market going while we were here which was kind of funny to me because most of the sellers had the same thing but it's nice to have and this is a perfect place for it.
