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.

Draft pour, light gold. This one didn’t do it for me. They have one of the best iPAs. Have tasted with Head Hunter and these others are chasing too hard. Dried pineapple aroma. Mostly bitter and resiny.

Draft pour, clear light gold. Hint of white grape on the aroma. This one was underwhelming compared to the head hunter. Hints of guava, pineapple but fairly light. The bitter overrides the hops.

Draft pour, clear gold. Pine and salt water ocean aroma. Notes of pineapple and pine resin up front but it fades quickly to just a tongue to 9 volt battery bitterness. Not as good as the head hunter.

Draft pour, light gold. The aroma on this is intense and smells like a freshly peeled tangerine. Notes of tangerine and grapefruit juice are amazing. That fades and turns bitter but that initial wave is a citrus fruit bat to the face!

Draft pour, clear gold. Strong honey aroma. Lightly sweet with notes of honey and blueberry. Very drinkable, didn’t want to like this but it’s a great light summer beer. Easy to drink when it’s hot out.

Aromas are blueberries, malt, a touch of floral and maybe some honey. Flavors are similar to nose. On the sweet side with decent body and carbonation. Fairly simple. Entry level craft brewing.

Pours clear yellow and has a light, lime and grainy malt aroma. The lime is pretty prominent in the flavor. It’s light bodied with grainy malt and a bit of bitterness. This isn’t really my thing, but it’s crisp and refreshing.
