Fountainhead is a fun time. The owners are incredibly friendly and I love that they are so connected to their business and community. Came on a Thursday night, and it also happened to be Trivia Night (starts at 6:30pm). Got together with a couple ladies to play mahjong and got asked all night about it :) Apparently this place used to be an auto shop before they turned it into a brewery. They have indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for a gathering with friends. Moscow mule was cold and refreshing, and the fish and chips that someone else ordered smelled amazing. Parking is mostly on the street (free, but be wary of the uneven sidewalk) or if you're lucky, they have a few parking spots right at Fountainhead. read more

Stopped in at Fountainhead Brewing & Taphouse for a pint of their house red (Twenty4th). Smooth malt body with a clean finish and just enough hop kick that it doesn't feel sleepy at 6%. Easy drinking without being bland. Place is small, patio-heavy, and the staff is the kind that actually talks beer instead of just pouring it. Parking is tight, but that's the neighborhood. If you're already in Land Park / Hollywood Park, this is a solid casual stop. Would come back for another pint of the red and whatever's rotating. read more

This spot is really chill. I miss that they stopped brewing. I thought that was kind of a nice touch, but maybe it's for the best that they sell other people's beer. Anyway, parking here can be a pain, but you can always park in the neighborhood and walk over. They have a plethora of drunk munchies form the food truck they have on hand all the time. It's called the Lion's Den. I am actually a fan. Their hot dogs are great. The fries and tots are a good texture too. You can bring your doggo as well. Lovely little spot to spend a sunny afternoon. read more

Love love love it! Don't let the location fool you. We pulled up and were a little nervous about only seeing a brick building with no windows. Walked and immediately were greeted with a warm smile! The server was so warm and kind. We were able to sample the beers which were lovely! My partner got a light beer and I did a sour. Both were awesome! As we sat, the opened the garage doors on the building which opened up to the outdoor seating area! We ordered a hot dog and chicken sandwich both were great! Parking can be a little tricky since they don't have a lot. But plenty of street parking! read more

Been here a few times but this is my first review. I really like this neighborhood brewery, very homey and laid-back. They have specials and tonight was a hot dog and beer for $10. They also have Happy Hour which runs from. 4-6 pm during the week. I had the Chicago Dog and Barrelhouse Stout. Also ordered the fried zucchini. Everything tasted great and would definitely recommend. My nephew had the German Dog and the Red Ale. He also ordered an order of the tater tots. He was equally impressed with all of the items he ordered and would also recommend. When you walk in the menus are on the wall over the bar and that is where you will place your order. Drinks will be given after you complete your order and if you order food you will be given a pager. When the food is ready you head outside to pick it up. There is ample seating inside and outside. Parking is limited but we were able to find a spot close. Definitely worth the try! read more

We discovered this hidden little gem and I must say this place is Awesome!! The staff are just Phenomenal and are always welcoming!! The food is great, we especially love going on Mondays when they have the beer and hotdog combo special. There's a good selection of beers and they also have ciders/seltzers available. The place is clean and there's lots of seating options inside or outside. We've been loyal customers ever since we discovered Fountainhead Brewery and we'll continue to be!! read more

Great selection of beer and they always have one cider and seltzer on tap too which is awesome! There is a super cute dart board area to play games if you want, and there is a lot of seat. While there is technically inside and outside seating, really the whole place feels outside because the wall open up. The employees here are incredibly nice. A lot of family members work here and pitch in - it is very sweet. You can tell the owners really love their business. They also have amazing happy hour deals! The hot dogs are pretty good, not spectacular but definitely worth the price I would say. The tots are amazing. I haven't had the pizza yet, but they look phenomenal! I can't wait to try one! read more

Great service, excellent beer selection! Love this place. Cannot recommend it enough. Good vibes all the way around! You will be so glad you discovered this place! read more

Off the beaten path, for us anyway ... great spot, super chill, such a great relaxed vibe. Nice, but not overwhelming, selection of beers -- plus wine and a little mojito action if you're so inclined. All staff very friendly and helpful. Vegan dogs and tots were excellent. First time, but won't be the last. Happy to have found this one! read more

Fountainhead has been on my list of Sacramento breweries to visit because of its high ratings. With that in mind, I visited the brewery last Sunday and was disappointed. The facility is located in an old, aging industrial building, that has only two off street parking spaces. Although clean looking, both the interior and the patio contain a hodgepodge of old wobbly furniture and equipment. There is a food truck/trailer in the back where the food service is provided. The food is an eclectic mixture of hotdogs, appetizers and sub sandwiches. So, if you are into hotdogs, what I tried was excellent and included shoestring fries that were also very good. However, I was there for the beer, and that is where it fell apart. They don't offer flights, so I tried tasting as many as I could. The IPA's were overly hopped to the point where you couldn't identify the hop or hops used. The dark beers were watery and the lighter beers were unremarkable. I realize that everybody has a different experience with beer, but for me if a brewery has 4 plus stars, it means they are making flavorful quality craft beer that is correct for the styles. That was not what I experienced here. I wish them success going forward. read more

I had been here years ago so I wanted to try it again. I didn't have the food but will need to try it next time. I had a couple beers. I like Ipas. I forgot which one I got but it was good. Service behind the bar was great. They have a couple TVs. I like the outside seating especially since it was a nice day. The only thing I wish they had were flights but I would go again. read more

Came for happy hour on a Friday. Hot dog and a pint for $10. They even have vegan hot dogs! It seemed like several of the people were regulars, we may become regulars as well. read more

Such a great place! You almost miss it when you drive by, but definitely recommend stopping and having a drink and a hot dog. The service here is amazing, the man that took our order was super friendly and made us feel welcomed. He even checked up on us after we finished our meal to see if we liked it. The hot dogs are a MUST. If you like a little bit of a spicy kick, absolutely get the Griller dog. They're also not stingy with the toppings, it was such a filling meal. And the onions rings are probably the best I've had in sac. Super crispy! I paired my meal with the lion paw pineapple drink and he topped it with blueberry kombucha, it was super refreshing. Overall the place is small (you might have to park on the street) but super chill to hang with some friends or family. Will be back! read more

Stumbled upon this place. Staff was helpful and funny. Good experience, good choices of beers and great hotdogs. No Diddy.

I'm sitting here having a beer and nachos while typing this. This place is awesome.. Guy who I believe is the owner is super friendly. Walked into a positive atmosphere with amazing customer service. The nachos don't standardly come with bacon but they accidentally made some and gave it to me on the side (free of charge). Didn't even mention how refreshing the hazy I had was. 10/10 will definitely be coming back! read more

Can't say ENOUGH about how great this place is and how wonderful the employees are! We were scrambling to find a low-key venue for our mom's birthday party and Fountainhead was SO inviting and accommodating. They worked with us to ensure there was enough space for our event, let us put up decorations, store cake, etc. The beer is EXCELLENT, the food is great, and the staff is 10/10. Absolutely will be back and highly recommend this spot if you are hosting a get together or just looking to have a laid-back date night! read more

Took a bike ride on a nice sunny day and discovered this gem! Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. A dart room for anyone interested in darts. Bear is brewed on the premises. They have food truck which serves hotdogs too. Support this small business you won't be disappointed. read more

Been exploring breweries in the area and Fountainhead seemed like a cool spot to check out. Driving by, parking is a bit awkward as the lot can only hold a few cars. If it's full or hard to enter, you can park out front or off to one of the side streets across the road. The inside of the brewery isn't huge, but the outside has some picnic tables for chilling. Beer was ok ($8/pint). They did tack on a credit card surcharge (4%) which turned me off a bit. With inflation already going on, it's getting tiring to see vendors stacking on additional surcharges. Just increase the prices of your items rather than giving customers surprise fees. Overall, it's an OK spot but didn't hit any marks for me to feel compelled to return. read more

A great little hidden gem in the neighborhood. Definitely check them out.. a little Oasis on 24th St.

Was hitting a lot of breweries in the area and this one was walking distance so we made sure to come by and we're glad we did. Small brewery (open since 2016) that survived the Covid era and I'm glad. Not a giant selection of beers - I asked if we could get a flight and he said they didn't have flights but would give us a little of each if we wanted. That's okay, we ordered a couple full beers and they were great. They do serve dogs there too, I could see coming here if you're close. There was also some function while we were there. Place was packed and it was good people there - there was a guy singing too (he wasn't that great but we sat outside so we're all good). I can see parking being an issue as it is right in a residential/industrial combo neighborhood (we took an uber from there). But great place, we hope to be back. Beers were excellent, BTW. read more

A hole in the wall brewery with character! Came by to enjoy the fruits of the brewers labors and enjoyed their Panama Red and Nete. Refreshing and light. I'm usually a stout or Porter guy, and they had a can of their last stout in the fridge. I enjoy beer from the tap, so I figured I'd come back. Well, will definitely come back now. Was pleasantly gifted with the stout on the house. Thank you so much guys!!! The best kind of beer is $Free.99!! Definitely check out this brewery and enjoy a good suds!! Cheers!!! read more

This was our first time here and it was such a great experience! We came on a Monday so it was pretty slow but that was perfect for us to catch a chill vibe :) We were able to meet Daniel the brew master and Joe helped us out for the day. Both were very friendly and made us feel welcomed. Joe made us feel very welcomed and was very knowledgeable about all the beers in tap! Fountainhead also has a good truck in back that sells super yummy hot dogs with lots of toppings (trust me they don't skimp). It was the perfect meal + drinks for a day off We will definitely the coming back for the drinks and food! read more

I love Fountainhead. We recently moved to Sacramento. What a treat to discover a great brewery in the neighborhood. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so it will be nicer outside. I'm a fan of Panama Red. I love Panama so it's a natural fit. The hot dogs are good too. read more

raveled from Portland to visit family in Sacramento and got to stop by Fountainhead Brewing Co. I truly believe this is a hidden gem that folks NEED to experience. The vibe was fantastic & family friendly with plenty of things to keep everyone occupied. But let me be clear... their IPA's are top shelf. The Acoustic Endeavor 7% IPA is downright stellar and immensely underrated! I give it a solid 4.25 / 5 rating. I'm bringing up multiple crowlers to share with my beer enthusiast friends. Fountainhead Brewing is a must and will most definitely be stopping by every time I'm in Sacramento! Cheers! read more

I really dig the vibes at this neighborhood brewery. It's relaxed and everyone who works here is friendly and attentive. I've been here several times and there is always something new because they rotate beers so frequently, which I appreciate. Plus, the selection tends to be diverse, which means it's not all a shrine to super hopped IPAs (not my fav) like a lot of other breweries in town. I'm a fan of the PachaMama Zara Coffee Brown Ale that features one of our local coffee roasters. It's tasty, but I couldn't help but wonder how better it would be with Temple instead :) Most recently I tried their watermelon sour that blew my mind because I was pretty much convinced that I wasn't a fan of sours in general as I've tried dozens and have never tasted one that I've liked. This one was delicious in my opinion (and apparently flying out of their tap). They feature local musicians pretty much monthly in their large outdoor space and it's majorly dog friendly too. Both are major pluses in my book. I'll definitely come back, but I'm reserving my fifth star for when they bring a game-changing dark beer selection on board. read more

My cousin had the hot link with her choice of toppings and I had the Pretzel Bites with toppings and bacon. I thought the pretzel bites were okay. It was missing some salt or some flavor or maybe it needed more cheese, there was just something missing. The staff here are super friendly and welcoming. We loved the environment. read more

I stumbled upon this place yelping for a brewery I could come to kills some time. The two beers I tried were pretty tasty and they have some decent appetizers. They have several IPA's. I'm not a fan but my friend is and she really enjoyed hers! I started super light weight and ordered the strawberry seltzer, it was crisp and sweet, a little too sweet for my taste. But, then I had the basic AF blonde, which I really liked. My friend and I split one of the IPA's (whichever she picked) and although I usually avoid IPA's at all costs I took my friends word for it not being too hoppy-heavy so I took half a pint and actually enjoyed it. We ordered fries and their huge warm pretzel cheese. The perfect beer accompaniment. I've Their outdoors area set up is roomy... perfect for 2020 social distancing times. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

I'm lucky to have stumbled upon this little gem in the Fruitridge/Freeport area. I love supporting our local breweries in this place had great beers. It's always such a treat to be able to meet the beer maker that can tell you about their creations. Of course I got the flight. There was such a nice variety and depthof flavor from the light to the dark beers. If you're ever in this area and can find this place go to Fountainhead! read more

The place may be small, but I love these guys! They really make me feel welcome. It doesn't get too crowded when I go there which I like.

My friends and I got to Fountainhead right before it closed on a Saturday. There were only a few other people still around. I liked the backyard, out-of-someone's-garage feel. I really dug the authentic chill vibe. The bartender was generous letting us try different beers, which was a good thing because their red and stout were very different than what I was expecting. I ended up going for a nice, hazy IPA. No food for sale except some tortilla chips. Lots of games to choose from. The music was all over the place - from alternative 90s to new wave to pop - but it made for some fun conversations among the group. read more

Had a great Sunday afternoon at Fountainhead during Labor Day weekend 2019. Whew it was hot! But the great beer kept us cool I had the tasting flight and loved all my choices except for one. Pretty good amount of beers on tap, plenty of seating , corn hole , card/board games, TVs, this cute little VW bug makes a great photo opp, they also sell chips and salsa. This is a working brewery and the seating is in a patio indoor/outdoor warehouse type space so it might be a little more comfortable in the fall or whenever it isn't 100 degrees out. But the friendly service and chill vibe and great beer made it worth the heat . Glad we found this kinda out of the way place while searching for brews in Sacramento. Hope to come back each time I visit Sac. read more

in fermentum veritas. In fermentation/fermented product, we find truth. Or perhaps we find truth at the Fountain(head) of Youth? Oh yeah, I dig that 9.8% (yep. One will do ya.) Panama Red. At a brewery that offers not one, but two dark brews, which are my preference, Panama Red is still my favorite. Try it! Soooo tasty and refreshing, more bold that most reds. I dig that they have an actual variety of beers here, even with a limit of 6 styles at the time of my visit, including a stout, porter, IPA, an Extra Pale, and a Belgian Golden that was "out." There is nothing I can't stand more than going to a place and seeing all IPAs and Pale Ales on tap and like one tolerable something else. I like malty as opposed to hoppy, and I'm down with a lot of variety, but I don't get the IPA phase. I'll try a flight but I rarely want a glass of one. But I digress, the flight we purchased was affordable and served in 5 oz glasses with generous pours that really seemed larger than 5 oz, and included all five of the available beers. The sixth, the Belgian Blonde, was out, we were told, which was a huge bummer as I adore Belgians. However, I observed people coming in with growlers and getting pours from a sixth unlabeled tap. I wanted to ask what that was about, but the guy behind the bar didn't seem very enthused to talk to me, like at all. Not that he was rude, just not super friendly. The lady behind the bar was very nice, though. The weird tap thing left a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe they had some just for people who have growlers from them or people who had reserved some ahead of time? Again, I'm assuming here, but it was kind of odd and sneaky. Truth be told, I wasn't very enthused with any of the beers expect for the Red, which is so good it's worth coming back for.They've also got a nice patio area, TVs for Giants games, wide open indoor tasting room with large communal benches, complimentary water, pretzels and oreos, and one unisex bathroom with a fully stocked changing table. That last bit makes me really want to get my five stars out, as it's rare to see an inclusive bathroom with such a nice changing table, but I need a few more visits before I decide to do that, and before I figure out what that exclusive mystery tap was about. Parking could be a problem here unless you know the area. There isn't a lot of room in the lot. There is room enough for cornhole and a foodtruck, though! I'm very glad to have a new brewery in the Hollywood Park/Curtis Park area, close enough to Track 7 to hit both on a lazy Sunday. I'll be back! read more
