Halfway Crooks

Halfway Crooks in Atlanta is a clever play on words, blending a nod to Mobb Deep’s iconic “Shook Ones” with a vibe that’s anything but shaky. Despite its name, the brewery leans into a clean, almost minimalist aesthetic—more hipster haven than dive bar. It’s a spot where you can expect thoughtful, heady pours of primarily German-style beers, delivered with precision and an appreciation for tradition.

The Halfway Crooks Radler is light, crisp, and refreshing, the kind of beer that’s perfect for when you want something easygoing yet satisfying. It’s a delicate blend of lager and citrus, offering just the right amount of zest without overwhelming your palate. The pours here aren’t just drinks; they’re crafted experiences, each glass filled to the brim with care.

Radius, another staple, is a saison that brings a bit more complexity to the table. Slightly tart with earthy undertones and a hint of spice, it’s the kind of beer that invites you to slow down and savor each sip. It’s all about balance and nuance, much like the brewery itself.

Halfway Crooks may riff on the name of a gritty rap track, but the reality is a polished, hip spot where the beer is poured with reverence for the craft. It’s a place where you can enjoy a meticulously brewed German beer, surrounded by an atmosphere that’s both chill and refined—a perfect reflection of Atlanta’s evolving beer scene.
