Cleveland, OH – The Cleveland Guardians today announced that Fat Head’s Brewery, Ohio’s most-awarded craft brewery, is now the Official Craft Beer partner of the club starting with the upcoming 2024 season.

A long-time partner of the team, Fat Head’s grew its presence over the years from a single sandwich kiosk in 2016 to entitlement of the Guardians signature third-base Beer Garden in 2023. With this further expansion of the partnership, Fat Head’s will become even more of a presence throughout the ballpark’s ever-increasing array of adult beverage concessions and hospitality.

"The Guardians are a Cleveland institution the community comes together and passionately unites around," said Matt Cole, Fat Head's Co-Founder and Master Brewer. "Scaling our partnership to become their Official Craft Brewery is something that elicits a great amount of pride for our team and we think reflects our appreciation and devotion for our hometown. Nothing quite says summer like enjoying a cold beer on a warm day outside watching baseball and we’re thrilled to be a big part of that in Cleveland for years to come."

The partnership afford Fat Head’s the opportunity to utilize the team’s name and marks regionally in the marketing and promotion of its brewery and beers. This includes their dual flagships Head Hunter IPA, which last year achieved recognition as the Gold Award winner for India Pale Ale at both the World beer Cup and the Great American Beer Festival, and Northeast Ohio’s favorite, Bumble Berry Honey Blueberry Ale. Both brews are featured prominently throughout Progressive Field on draft and in cans, along with several other offerings from the Middleburgh Heights production facility.
