Fare Thee Well Michael Jackson
August 31, 2007 – 3:01 pmNo, not the world-renowned pop singer. This Michael Jackson was one of the most prolific writers about all things alcoholic beverage, and he passed away today.
I’m currently in position of Jackson’s Bar & Cocktail Companion, on indefinite loan from Roger (thanks Roger!) and Ultimate Beer, a gift this past New Year’s from Paul and Ellen. Ultimate Beer is an exquisitely photographed collection with short tasting notes on all kinds of different beers, few of which I have yet tried. It’s a remarkable collection that makes for a wonderful coffee table book.
Today’s a sad day in the world of beer, wine, and cocktail writing. Fare thee well Michael Jackson.
