Merry Christmas Friends and Neighbors,

We are in the throws of Holiday season, and have been shipping Hot Tamales, “Knock-You-Naked” Margarita Mix, Fire & Ice Pickles and Pralines all over the country this year!  We are starting to wrap up our Christmas orders and are looking forward to great Holiday Season with old friends, family and even a few tourist.

Fat Mama’s Tamales will be closed on December 24, 2012 starting at 3 p.m. so our staff can enjoy Christmas with their families, additionally we will be closed on December 25, 2012 for Christmas Day.  We will reopen on December 26, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. just in time for lunch!  So if you need a break from the family or just want to show your cousin something different, swing on my Fat Mama’s for some steaming hot tamales, homemade chili, housemade Roast Beef poboys and the coldest beer in town!

We should have a few new beers on tap by Christmas so you can try something new or stick with an old favorite.

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It is the that time of year again, and we are very excited!  The Annual Great Mississippi River Balloon Race is set and ready and the weather will be beautiful.  Fat Mama’s will have a Beer Garden this year with 5 beers on tap, an additional 80 seats in the parking lot, and 8-12 artist booths set up in the parking lot.  We will have Miller Lite, Blue Moon, Abita Andy Gator, Lazy Magnolia Timberbeast and Sam Adams Octoberfest set up in the beer garden!  All draft beers come in our 22 oz yellow cups, that are in every house within 250 miles of Natchez.  We will also be accepting credit card payments in the beer garden as well, you got to love iPads.

New Beer Law in MS!

Friends & Neighbors

The MS legislature earlier this year voted to allow higher content beer in the State of Mississippi.  The law started on July 1, 2012, and we just got our first shipment of high content craft beer in! They are big, flavorful and definitely not your average beer.  We will be rotating different high content craft beers in and out over the next few weeks and seeing what people like the best.  We currently have the following:

Rogue Chocolate Stout, 22 Ounce Bottle
Rogue Chipolte Ale, 22 Ounce Bottle
Mons Abby Dubbel, 25 Ounce Bottle

Rogue Chocolate Stout is a heavy beer, with a strong flavor and aroma and hint of chocolate.
Rogue Chipolte Ale is an ale, with a light smoky flavor and clean finish
Mons Abby Dubbel is Belgium inspired beer that is fruity and slightly sweet

Just ask our staff about them, and they can point you in the right direction!

Mississippi Market, Jackson MS

Friends and Neighbors

We would like to thank the Mississippi Development Authority for hosting the MS Market 2012 at the Trademart in the Jackson Fairgrounds.

Fat Mama’s Tamales Inc exhibited our “Knock-You-Naked” Margarita Mix and Fire & Ice Pickles and we far surpassed our expectations!  To all the old friends we were able to see again and the new ones we made, we had a great time seeing everyone.  We picked up a lot of new wholesale customers, and made some great contacts, who we are already in talks with regarding our products!  If you or someone you know has product or products and are interested in testing the waters at market, we highly recommend the Ms Market.  MDA goes out of their way to make sure all exhibitors are taken care of, and provide a great two days of market.

Again thank you to the MDA, our customers and everyone who has had a hand in Fat Mama’s Tamales over the last 20 plus years!
