Yooooooooo!
If you don’t
know by this point, get a late pass: The Nappy Roots are not only my brothers
who rep ATL and their home state of Kentucky to the fullest, but they truly
give a shit about craft beer. 
Since they reached out to me for their first
collaboration with Monday Night years ago to witness their hands-on
brewing, their dedication has increased tremendously by traveling throughout
the U.S. and making beer with some of the best breweries out there. And you know
what? Every single one of their liquid concoctions has been impressive. Now it’s
time for a relaunch of an extremely popular one they did alongside the burgeoning
Arches Brewing out of Hapeville, Georgia—the limited-edition Kentucky Mud Nitro
Chocolate Milk Stout at 6.6%—on tap and in cans today,
Saturday, March 14, from 1 pm–9
pm.
The Nappy Roots’
collective taste in beer is no joke; this is not a gimmick what they’re doing. Their passion
is genuine. Come support. Plain and simple. Below is the official press release.
See you at Arches!

Grammy-Nominated Nappy Roots Returns to Arches Brewery With Their Craft Beer Collaboration Now Available in
Cans
Kentucky Mud recognizes the band’s
historical roots; Launch event March 14
Grammy-nominated
Nappy Roots and Arches Brewery are hosting a one-day craft beer event on
Saturday, March 14 from 1 pm – 9 pm, to celebrate the limited-edition beer relaunch
of Kentucky Mud – a brewery-only
release available on tap and in
cans. The stout celebrates the band’s historical roots, being founded in
Kentucky and settling in Atlanta.
The band will
be onsite to meet fans at Arches Brewery (3361 Dogwood Dr., Hapeville) for
a day of sharing beers with friends, staying
warm by the fire pits, and enjoying food
from Good Azz Food. At 6 pm, the evening events will
continue with the opening of Arches Brewing’s second art exhibition of the 2020 season (“Looking for the
Southeast”) that will be accompanied by live music from The Human
DJ.
“We are
excited to sit back with our fans to relax and enjoy the day drinking a beer we
are very proud of creating,” said Skinny Deville, one of the founding members
of Nappy Roots. “Having our creation back in stock at Arches is dope and we’re
excited that craft beer fans will be able to take some home since it will now
be available in cans.”
Kentucky Mud
is a creatively brewed Nitro Chocolate Milk Stout with an ABV of 6.6%. Its
foundation is rich and chocolaty, accompanied by sweet nutty flavors. The light
roasted notes are layered with the addition of lactose, which brings a frothy
creaminess. A generous dose of cocoa nibs and bourbon-soaked vanilla beans put
the final touch on this adventurous style.
The band began experimenting with their
home brewery, Atlantucky, which fermented their passion for microbrewing.
During the past several years, they have mass-produced numerous beers across
the country. In addition, the group is in the initial stages of developing a
reality show that will follow the band as they visit craft breweries in markets
they perform.
The Nappy Roots were nominated
for two American Music Awards (AMA) in 2003: Favorite Band, Duo or Group –
Hip-Hop/R&B and Favorite New Artist – Hip-Hop/R&B. That same year, they
were also nominated for Best New Artist at the Soul Train Award. In 2011,
Southern Entertainment Awards nominated their album The Pursuit of Nappyness
for Album of the Year. The band’s most recent album, Another 40 Akerz, was
released in 2017.
