Brian was an affable man who you could trust when he handed you a pint of a freshly tapped beer from the brewery. When he wasn't at the pub or inside the brewery, he was at festivals offering conversation to those that listened. His advice came from years of being in the industry (fifteen of which were spent with Diamond Knot), and he was an open book. Brian is survived by his colleagues Pat Ringe and Bob Mophet as well as countless, loyal employees, friends, family, and fans. You will be missed Brian, but through each pint we will never forget you.
Cheers.
