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.

$2 can from JR's. Pour is totally clear pale with a big white foaming head. Smell is IPA perfumed laced oranges, somewhat artificial tangerine. Taste is chewing on green tangerine peels. Very bitter, long lasting, mouth coating. Very rude. But I guess if you like IPA you may like this bitter stuff. OK, so think medium terribly on style IPA with ground up green tangerine peels all blended together in a food processor. Big fat straight up yuk. Somebody give me an ice cold cheap pale lager for a chaser.

From a can. This stuff pours fairly clear pale. Nose is mild hop perfume. Taste is of course big bad bitter hops all over the place. Bot this for a tick since I don't like bitter straight up ass IPA. It was only a buck fitty at the beer place. Thanks for the tick and the buzz but no thanks for the taste, whew. Now I can't taste anything but bitter hops for a while. Will somebody kindly give me a cheap pale lager for a chaser?

From a dented can. Heavy nose of thicker hops, almost volatile. Big foamy head that fades soon. Slight haze on an orange tinted pale yellow. Thick a mouth coating initial impressions. Thick and viscous fer sher. Very strong bitterness sets in but its not really astringent no sharp, just big ass bitter. Terribly bitter. Did I say hoppy big ass bitter yet? Well, it is. Difficult to take for a lager lover. Will somebody please give me a clean fresh cold cheap pale lager for a chaser? Whew.

Pour is a clear amber with a large white head. Aroma is piney dank hops. Flavor is again piney and dank with some red berry finish. Lots of bitterness on the finish I have not gotten from an IPA in a great long time. Nice old school IPA with plenty of bittering hops.

Pours dark brown with a lingering tan head. It smells of Belgian yeast, dark fruit, and caramel. The flavor is sweet and malty with dark fruits, yeast, caramel, clove and nutmeg (but the spices aren’t terribly strong). This is excellent.
