Michael Jackson is Dead

Michael Jackson is Dead.

Yes it’s Michael Jackson (not the Michael Jackson in your mind), known as the leading world beer critic or “the beer hunter,” died Thursday of a heart attack at his home in west London. He was 65.

His TV documentary series, “The Beer Hunter” — which popularized his nickname — was filmed around the world and shown in 15 countries. He worked as a beer critic for more than 30 years, writing in newspapers and gastronomic magazines, holding seminars and giving speeches, appearing on U.S. talk shows and writing books about beer and whiskeys published in 18 languages.

Jackson had kept writing and traveling, despite suffering from Parkinson’s disease, and he planned to write a book about his ailment.

“He told wonderful stories about beer, breweries and far away places. He told the story of beer through people, and he was humorous and erudite at the same time. He was simply the best beer writer we’ve ever known,” quoted Tim Hampson, chair of the British Guild of Beer Writers.

His books “The Great Beers of Belgium” and “World Guide to Beer” introduced them to many export markets, including the United States. By identifying beers by their flavors and styles, and by pairing them with particular foods and dishes, Jackson helped give birth to a renaissance of interest in beer and breweries worldwide that began in the 1970s, including the North American microbrewery movement.

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