Dang. We lost a good one.
August 30, 2007 - It is with deep regret
that we inform you of the passing of Michael Jackson, the Beer Hunter,
who died this morning at his home in London, UK.
Jackson
dedicated more than three decades to the pursuit and documentation of
the world.s finest beers, and wrote many books on the subject.
He became known as the most widely-published and influential
author on beer. He developed a cult television series known as 'The Beer
Hunter', and contributed articles to countless magazines and newspapers.
Jackson was especially well-known for his particular passion for the
specialty brews of Belgium, and his bestseller The Great Beers of
Belgium.
An occasional acquaintance of the Minnesota Homebrewers, many of us had
the chance to hang out with "The Beer King". There's a nice online
memorial at All About
Beer. |
