Geisthaus Brewing Company

Geisthaus Brewing Company, Sacramento, CA - February 14, 2025I came in with my wife a little after 2 pm on Friday (Valentine's Day). Be sure to check their hours for other days of the week. The interior is modern and inviting with simple cement finished floors, a nice long bar with a dark ceiling, clean red brick wall behind the bar, and lots of shiny beer glasses surrounding the beer taps. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoors, there is an open patio with a couple cornhole games. Juju Burgers food truck was there as well.We ordered beer at the front counter as we came in. They don't do beer flights, but they will give you small tastes. I tried their Helles Pilsner, which was flavorful but a little lighter in body than I was hoping for. I then ordered a 3 oz Dunkle, which was heavier and more flavorful. My wife ordered a pint of the California Pilsner slow pour. It takes about 5 minutes to make that one, so we were given a number and found a nice high top table next to the window. My wife's beer came out shortly thereafter. It had a beautiful dense foam head that almost looked like soft serve ice cream you could lick. The aroma was enticing and the flavor was really good. We ordered a burger from the food truck, and it was very tasty as well. They are dog friendly as long as your pooch is on a leash and well behaved. We brought in our little puppy in a stroller and she loved it. Fun spot to hang out.

2/14/2025 - I'm not much of a beer drinker, but it was Valentine's Day, so I asked my husband if he wanted to try the new brew pub. Of course he did! So off we went, and arrived at Geisthaus Brewing Company shortly after their Friday opening time (2:00 pm).We walked in, and were greeted by staff. The taproom is welcoming and comfortable. The menu is simple, 7 beer choices, one of which is a slow pour (takes 6 minutes). I had never heard of a slow pour, so that's what I ordered. The Slow Pour California Pilsner ($7). My husband ordered the Dunkel.Most of the seats at the bar were taken, so we found a cozy little table on the upper level (2-3 steps up) next to a window. The pub had a nice crowd, with some babies and pups in attendance, too. While waiting, I googled "slow pour" beer. "A 'slow pour' beer is characterized by a very thick, dense, and layered head of foam created by pouring the beer slowly, often using a side-pull faucet, which results in a visually impressive presentation and can enhance the beer's flavor by trapping volatile aromas and providing a softer mouthfeel due to the reduced carbonation release; this technique can take several minutes to complete, allowing the foam to settle and build up in layers."Ok, sounds good to me. Can't wait to try the slow pour beer.They don't have food, other than some chips and salsa, but there was a food truck, so we ordered a burger to split. Then my slow pour arrived. The most beautiful glass of beer I have ever seen (see my photo). The google description was spot on. The beer had a very thick head of foam, not a lot of carbonation, and was delicious. While sipping on my slow pour beer, I wondered, what does Geisthaus mean? So I googled that, too. Spirit house, or ghost house. Cool. Now it's time to get off my phone and finish my delicious beer.

Geisthaus seems like a great new addition to the local beer scene! We checked them out for their grand opening and were not disappointed. The space is large, dog-friendly, and very nice with both indoor/outdoor seating and plenty of parking as it shares a lot with Stardust next door. They had a food truck as well and have a calendar on their website for when upcoming trucks are scheduled. They specialize in lagers and despite just opening, had a good selected variety available! I tried several of their beers and they were solid! I will definitely look forward to coming back and trying the rest, and seeing what else they release in the future. Everything from the space itself to the beers and small details like glassware, coasters, menu board, and overall vibe seemed very polished like it was a brewery that had already been well-established for a long time. And despite it being very busy, they did a good job of staying efficient handling the opening day crowd and the line moved fast. We will be back for sure!

Brand new brewery, it seems they specialize in pilsners and lagers. Beautiful and spacious building with a nice patio and roll up doors for the spring and summer. Service was great and beer is pretty solid! Check it out along their neighbor Stardust Emporium.... guaranteed fun time!

Grand opening 02/08/2025 ! Dog friendly inside and outside patio is very nice . Nice spot for the neighborhood . First taster was the Fog lair , and it was very good . Will visit again very soon .

Cool new spot that's not that far from me. It's pretty spacious. They had decent selection of German beers on tap. I just wish they also served German food since I've been in the mood for it. I'll definitely be back!

What a fabulous new brew pub for our area!!!Stopped in last night and found a delightful and beautifully renovated building now given a new life in our neighborhood. After more than 8 long years this former restaurant has been given a much needed facelift, new life, and purpose.Stop in and visit with the incredibly friendly staff and owners.They make tasty beers of the German and Czech style. I love being able to add these flavors and styles to my list. From the crowd there last night (midweek!) so do so many others!The space is comfortable and well decorated and when the weather warms there is a grand patio with promises for patio games as entertainment. A trivia night is also coming in the future. They are dog friendly as well.Welcome to the Neighborhood Geisthaus!!!

Nice spot! Great location to our house! Excited to have a neighborhood brewery. I hope one day they will serve cider or wine for us non beer drinkers haha. Then they would have 5 stars from me!

Nice spot, beer was yummy, people were nice. Warmers out side would have been nice and more seating some how because they were pretty busy! We snagged a couple of unoccupied chairs and sat next to the brick entrance out side to make our own little table. We'll go again- it was good!
