The plural form of cellarman, using the irregular English plural -men (Old English origin) instead of -s.
In Victorian breweries, cellarmen were essential workers who controlled the quality of beer through careful temperature management and bacterial control—essentially doing microbiology before the science even had a name.
Plural masculine form; perpetuates assumption that cellar work is a male domain. Historical labor records often erased women's contributions to wine management and storage.
