Fatheads coming to NJ?

HopBomb515 · Jun 8, 2014

Wait, I've seen Fat Heads in my local store. How is that. I might need to go check again but I saw it in like April.

Have more headhunter coming from Cincy, along with a growler of 50 west, some white rajah and a few others...

What's up with OH crushing it? Brew Kettle, Fatheads, 50 West, and Rhinegeist, hoofa...

Really enjoyed the Overhead w/mosaic on tap, Kane needs to work on putting that in 6 or 4 packs or something along with their other offerings.

This.

Personally i think the mosaic version of overhead totally kills it. They should just brew that full time.

There was a label pic for monkey chased but not confirmation from Carton it's happening, word I heard was the label got approved but they aren't going to can and 007xx is next.

I don't understand. You asked your friend about Fat Head's. He says ask on here. You post a thread with a completely unfounded rumor about them coming to NJ? This makes absolutely zero sense to me. Am I missing something?

Ok. Wait. Monkey is coming to stores??? Where have you heard this? Also, I think you're overstating the importance of an NJ brewed beer to consumers in the state. While I think it would definitely sell, I think after the initial excitement for it being available wears off, it could have problems. Lots of competition on the shelves. But I think that's why Boat does pretty well. It's not available all the time - which helps keep the excitement for when it's around.

A brewery called spellbound in Mt Holly is opening soonish and they'll be canning and Forgotten Boardwalk says they will can as well in due time. So some more cans are coming.

I'm a bit disappointed Kane hasn't sent any bottles to the shops that have gotten bottles in the past. With ANTEAD all being sold at their release I guess it'll be a bit till the next possible distro'd bottle.

Flying fish is by no means bad but for how long they have been at it they don't seem to have a finger on the pulse. Also, didn't Casey leave to do his own thing or something? They have had their new spot in Sommerdal for a bit now yet I've had no desire to go as they haven't seemed to have any event worth going to. Saw they are doing 12oz of FU Sandy, or the pics looked like 12oz. That's kind of cool, albeit played out a bit. It was a decent beer but not great. I do enjoy fresh Exit 16, Exit 4, and the Exit 1. No desire to get any of those on the regular though. I do buy Boat on the reg though.

Really enjoyed the Overhead w/mosaic on tap, Kane needs to work on putting that in 6 or 4 packs or something along with their other offerings.

Cape May and Tuckahoe do some good things but Kegs are a bit more sporadic to get. Irish mile in Westmont gets a good amount but no growlers is a minus.

Haven't had anything from Pinelands but they seem intriguing.

No clue what happened with Bolero Snot, those guys still out there?

rinn Dunn or whatever is newish but nothing they have really appeals to me. I'm sure there are some other newcomers coming in the market. But whomever posted that the market is there, it's very true and it's becoming a race to see who can be first to really spank the competition. I kind of thought Kane would be it and be further along, seems they had a stumble or two, aren't they on their third head brewer in 3 years? Morning Bell was stellar this year compared to last year though. Haven't had ANTEAD but all reports are this years blows last years out of the water let alone the variants. Haven't bad anything from Carton I didn't like either. Even the funky as fuck Rickey, talk about cheese!

Good time to be a craft fan in NJ and the USofA enjoy people!

Bolero Snort is around, I see them quite a bit. Not sure where in NJ you are, but they mostly keep to N. NJ.

If not testing the waters, what is the benefit to a brewer coming to an event such as Philly Beer Week? I would think they are trying to increase sales in some way.

Went to school in Pittsburgh literally one block away from Fat Heads. Please come back to me Head Hunter I miss you.
