Description
Fat Head's was founded in 1992 as a premiere craft beer tap house and restaurant in Pittsburgh, PA. In 2009 we expanded to Ohio and teamed up with our award-winning Head Brewmaster Matt Cole. With the explosion in popularity came the necessity to open a full-scale production brewery in 2012. Fat Head's Brewery produces original ales and lagers for distribution throughout Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

Our Tap House offers Samples, Flights, and Fresh-brewed Pints! Sit right in the heart of our facility and enjoy the freshest beer from our tanks to your pint glass. We have a 16 tap draft system, bar seating, picnic tables, and some seriously tasty grub to go with it.

Sampled on draft at the House of 1000 beers this beer poured a caramel color with a medium sized beige head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was sweetish caramel, faint wood, nut and a touch of pepper. The flavor was bitter, dryish and crisp with notes nut, caramel and basic lager. Medium length basic lager and caramel finish. Medium body. Eh.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a dark copper-amber color with a huge foamy orange-tan head that lingered and left great lacing. The aroma was strong sweet pine, resin and grapefruit. The flavor was very bitter with an intense pink grapefruit presence that explodes on the tongue followed by tangy sweet pine, resin and lemon and a bit of bread underneath. Very long grapefruit and tangy pine finish. Full bodied. Excellent.
