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 this beer poured a dark brown color with some orange highlights and an enormous foamy orange-beige head that lingered and left great lacing. The aroma was ripe dark fruits, wood and a bit of roasty malts. The flavor was tangy and bitter with notes of sugar, ripe fruits, wood, nut and roasty malts. The finish was long, dry, bitter and roasty.Light to medium body. Ok.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a dark orange-amber color with a medium sized off white head that left good lacing. The aroma was pine, catbox, sugar and pepper and was fairly harsh. The flavor was harsh pine, catbox, pepper and light notes of sugar and lemon. Very hot. The finish was long, rough and hoppy. Full bodied. The booziness really overwhelmed everything though there were a few good elements that could be picked out through the alcohol and harsh hops. Ok.

Bottle from the long sought-after Ohio Brewers Collaboration sampler. The beer pours a mostly clear amber color with a medium thick off-white head that diminishes steadily. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of piney hops and malt. Medium body with a hoppy character that has pine and citrus notes. Sweet malt underneath. The finish is hoppy up front with an earthy malt aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
