E102: Winter Beers With Fish Scales from the Nappy Roots

In case you missed it, there was snow in Atlanta on Friday.

Amidst the panic and general hullabaloo, the grocery stores emptied of bread and milk, the perpetual traffic jam, there's a good side to this weather. Winter beers.

We talk about everything from Stouts to Barleywines to Scotch Ales, including sampling some of our favorites.

Joining us in the studio was FishScales, one of the members of hip-hop group Nappy Roots. Scales is a friend of the show and a serious craft beer fan. In fact, Nappy Roots are so serious, they're starting their own brewery. We talk to him about the origins of Atlantucky Brewing.  For our new listeners on KLAY 1180 AM in Tacoma, WA you can catch Nappy Roots in Seattle at Nectar Lounge on January 9, 2018

He's also partnered with chef Lara Holland to turn spent brewing grain into dog treats. Check out Healthy Bark here.
