Fat Cat Lager

Brewed by Minhas Craft Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Monroe, Wisconsin USA

This is under rated. Not sure about those of you that said it poured a "clear gold". Mine poured a thick golden copper color with an off-white cream head. Very lovely. Aroma of overly sweet caramel and overly ripe fruit. Abundant presence of hops, light presence of malt. Decent bitter after-taste. I remember seeing this while on a tour of the Minnesota Brewing Company in Saint Paul about 10 years ago. Not sure how it ended up with Minhas. Anyone know the alcohol content? I paid $7.49 for a 12 pack. Worth every cent!

got it in a mystery box @ the bevMo. Not really any complaints. The nose is pleasurable. I wouldn't consider it to be a lager tho. Much more burnt orange like an ale and actually quite thick with fine particles. Don't be frieghtend by the tin can.

While this beer may not stand up compared to ’quality’ beers, compared to other beers in it’s price category, it’s great. I typically pay $5 or $6 for a 12 pack. It also comes in the most unique can I’ve ever seen. Not willing to risk a whole $5 or $6 to sample it? Then pay $2.50, pick up a 6 pack, invite some friends over and try it out.

This beer is not perfect. This beer is .50/can though. Frankly, a lot can be forgiven at that price and to compare this to other quality beer at $1.00/bottle or more is a bit unfair. Anyway, I like it. It certainly beats most everything in its class that I can think of. By the way, the sales at ridiculously low prices were promotional, attempting to buy market share. Honestly, everyone I know that’s given this beer a try has been impressed by the taste for the money.

For the price, a surprisingly rich brew typical of most Huber products. REminiscent of the first Augsburger I had in 1977.

Picked up a single orange 12-oz can at Warehouse Liquors in Duluth, MN. Pours a clear golden pale amber brew with a thick, creamy off-white head that has some spotty lacing and decent white ring. Aroma of multi-grain malt, some grassy hops, a touch of corn grits, and some fruity character. taste is light to medium bodied, quite smooth, with flavors of multi-grain malt and flowery hops. Finish is semi-sweet with a thin malty grain aftertaste. Actually this is much smoother than most macro-brewed beverages I’ve tried.

if somebody knows where to get this email me delriousclick@yahoo.com.... This stuff used to be 7 bucks a 12pk at bevmo... the can is cool the pour is dark the flavor is, well, better than bud. And I miss it. This was an all time favorite of everybody i knew... for the price specifically. I’d love to have one I’m only speaking on memories. that cat is fat!

OK Just to set the record straight, Fat Cat is no longer brewed by MN Brewing since they are out of business. The liquor stor clerk said it was now made in Chicago, but on the can it says Brewed and Canned by MDI, Monroe, WI. If you dig around on the internet, you may find as I have, that the only brewer in Monroe is Huber. UPDATE: This has been Verified By Huber, yes they do contract brew it. I don't know who ownes FC but here's the rating. It IS pretty decent beer for cheap stuff. Poured with a nice orange hue and good head which didn't last lont. Not much lacing to speak of. Good carbonation and mouth feel. Not complex by any means but far better than the BMC swill. At 6.99 on sale you can't go wrong. Don't think just because it is in a can that it's crap. It isn't crap, It Isn't Great, but it is fairly good for what you pay for it.
