So Long, Michael Jackson
When I began trying to enjoy beer rather than just swill it, my guide to the beer world was Michael Jackson’s Beer Companion. It’s a great book for the aspiring beer connoisseur, or anyone who wants to know the basics about study of a beverage. It did a great job explaining everything without talking down to you, and communicated Michael’s enjoyment of the wide range of beers in the world.
Michael Jackson died last week in London, and the world is a poorer place. Lift one in his honor.
