Matt Hodgson's Picks

🌊🦞 Local Products

Like many of you, 2 Crows left a lasting impression on me. Never afraid to push boundaries, they consistently crafted some of the most interesting beers for both die-hard enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. Though their doors may be closed, they won’t soon be forgotten.

Velvet Static feels like a fitting encapsulation of that legacy. Clocking in at 11.9%, it’s a stout built to age—something you can cellar and revisit for years to come. Amaro barrel–aged and conditioned on orange zest, cocoa, and vanilla, it pours inky black: rich and robust, yet remarkably smooth.

2 Crows truly saved one of their best for last.
