Rest in Peace: Michael Jackson

I know what you’re thinking… but this isn’t that Michael Jackson. This is Michael Jackson, the Beer Hunter. He passed away on Thursday. While I am still somewhat of a newbie when it comes to craft beer, he was the connoisseur of all beer connoisseurs. On his website, he described himself:

Hello, my name is Michael Jackson. No, not that Michael Jackson, but I am on a world tour. My tour is in pursuit of exceptional beer. That’s why they call me the Beer Hunter.

So rather than write a whole lot more, I’ll just link to those who actually knew him and those who were influenced by him.

UPDATE: The Alstrom Bros. finally weighed in on this after letting it sink in a bit: Michael Jackson: Cheers to the “Most Influential Beer Writer on Earth!”
