Strong Arm Ale
Legend
Scotch Ale – 8.3% ABV
Urban Legend: While preparing for a night attack, Confederate Lieutenant General Stonewall Jackson was hit three times in a friendly crossfire. Three hits to his hand, elbow and shoulder necessitated the amputation of Jackson’s left arm. Emotionally distraught, the legend suggests General Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, said, “You have lost your left arm, but I have lost my right,” referring to his “right-hand” in command, Lieutenant General Stonewall Jackson. Legend has it, Jackson’s arm never made it to the Confederacy’s burial site, for Jackson’s comrade in war, Reverend Beverly Lacy, deserved a more warranted burial. He took Jackson’s swaddled arm to Jackson’s plantation, Ellwood, and buried the arm in the family cemetery.
