Brotherton Swarthy Invader
If you knew John Brotherton, one of the best friends the the Celery Farm and the Fyke Nature Association ever had, you'd have to laugh at the name of this New Jersey-brewed stout.
John was fair-skinned, fairly gentle and not particularly stout.
The Brotherton brew was on draft this past Sunday at the Shepherd and the Knucklehead in Haledon, a stone's throw from High Mountain.
Here's a toast to John's memory.
