The beer is named after an event involving the notorious traitor, who was once an amazing patriot, Benedict Arnold. Benedict was born in Norwich. Prior to the war, Arnold was running a successful trading business. On a trip in Hondorus, he angered a British sea captain named Croskie. When he went to apologize, the Englishman denounced him as “a damned Yankee, destitute of good manners.” Arnold demanded satisfaction, and the following day they squared off with pistols. Croskie shot first and missed. Arnold upon grazing Croksie’s arm, exclaimed “if you miss this time, I shall kill you!” Croskie apologized. This beer does not apologize for what she is. Read Less
