Michael Jackson, the English writer who taught millions that beer is “a noble and complex drink,” died in London on August 30, 2007. If you know his writing, you’ll understand what a loss this is to the beer world. If you’re now enjoying a range of diverse, beautifully-made beers, you owe him your thanks. Come raise a glass to his memory, and raise funds for the National Parkinson Foundation, to help people who— as Michael did—live with Parkinson disease.
