I had a whole other write-up ready to go about how cool Wing Beat is โ€” a delicious, thoughtfully made IPA best enjoyed while building a puzzle. But after reading the news that 2 Crows Brewing Co. will be closing on March 8th, this feels more important.

Thank you to 2 Crows and your incredible team for more than nine unforgettable years. You were the first brewery I visited when I moved here, and from that first pint, you set the standard. Bold, creative, and never afraid to push boundaries, your beer was always exceptional.

But what truly set you apart was the atmosphere โ€” warm, welcoming, and genuine.

Thank you for everything youโ€™ve given this city. Halifax wonโ€™t be the same without you.
