Fountain Brew Beers

The Monarch Tavern
   
 

The Monarch Tavern is home to The Fountain City Brewing Company, Inc.

Our flagship beer, Fountain Brew, springs from the pages of Fountain City’s own history. The original Fountain Brew was brewed here from 1862 to 1965. After the brewery was closed and later demolished, the popular local beer disappeared.

In 1997, with the help of the retired assistant brew master and some historical brewing records, the Fountain Brew recipe was reborn. A true pre-prohibition American style lager, Fountain Brew is now brewed for a new generation of enthusiasts.
