    Any truth to the rumor Fatheads is coming to NJ in August?

    Haven't heard anything but this would be great. Would love me a few 6 packs of Head Hunter.

    Isn't it 4 packs?

    And where have you heard this from? Would love it if it's true though. Head Hunter was fantastic when I've had it.

    My bad, I've only even had it on tap in FL. Would just like to see it come to NJ since NJ is always late in getting beers.

    I'd be happy if it came as far east as Harrisburg, so I could pick it up when visiting family in Carlisle.

    You'll notice that the OP just joined today and that is his only post, so nobody should get their hopes up as this appears to be total BS.

    I thought Head Hunter came in sixes.....I'm trying to remember, but I think it does. I had a case of it in the fall.

    But yes, I want Fat Heads in either NJ or in Eastern PA, not just Western PA.

    You would think nj would be the target state for most breweries looking to expand as it's located near two major cities and is the most densely populated state in the entire country.

    You would think so, yeah, but Carton Boat is literally the only beer not in PA or NY that's worth a damn and in stores.

    You can find Head Hunter 4 packs from time to time at select bottle shops in Philly and the burbs. Hell, it's on tap at Capone's as of today, but probably already kicked.

    Carton distributes to both NY and PA draft only.

    Only because Matt at Capones sends a guy out to Western PA to pick it up, we do not get distribution of it in eastern PA. That keg is here only because of Philly Beer Week, other than that one I've never seen one in our area.

    Fatheads distributes in western PA, so if they can't meed demand enough to distribute to the rest of PA, I highly doubt they are going to NJ.

    Yeah I just meant available in stores. Carton and Kane are the only two NJ breweries worth a damn and they have one beer in stores combined, two now with Monkey Chased the Weasel coming out. Cheers to Carton for releasing something new and available in stores. Hopefully it's the start of a trend and they can start canning 077XX, Milk, etc.

    I'm tellin ya; any NJ-released beer available in stores with good ratings is going to make a killing due to the lack of competition, the huge population density, and state-wide reverence for craft. It's a relatively untappd market just begging for quality. Thank goodness for Boat!

    The prime example brewery I can think of here is Bell's...why the heck haven't they started distributing here yet?!
