The Mission
Our Name
All wood starts as sapwood, the delicate new growth just under a tree’s bark. It plays an integral part of a tree’s maturation by carrying water between the leaves and roots, carefully redistributing built-up reserves as the season’s demand. Eventually, sapwood hardens into the heartwood of which barrels are made. Sapwood ties together the two sides of our production: Sap for the fresh IPAs and Wood for the acidic barrel-aged beers. A cellar is the brewer’s term for the fermentation space but also evokes the cool, quiet resting place of barrels.
