REPPIN’ Atlanta’s Underground Hip Hop Scene

Crafts & Crates is a local Atlanta event that merges craft beer and hip-hop culture and was formed by members of the legendary Atlanta underground rap groups Binkis Recs and Psyche Origami. We wanted to cultivate a fun atmosphere for all ages that celebrate and showcases Atlanta’s hip-hop community.

The event takes place at the world-renowned Halfway Crooks Biergarten which is in the historic neighborhood of Summerhill.  The beautiful outdoor space at Halfway Crooks is the perfect setting to enjoy some of the best craft beer and cocktails ATL has to offer, along with great food and amazing vibes while hearing selections from the hottest DJs in the city and worldwide.

At each event we also feature a popup vinyl shop from the likes of JB’s Record Lounge, Gene Brown and more, that offers a curated selection of vinyl records for music enthusiast to browse and purchase. Come join us on the third Saturday of the month for a unique cultural experience as we rotate through the best selection of dope hip-hop, r&b, and soul classics!
