Michael Jackson, RIP

We were saddened to learn of the death of legendary beer journalist Michael Jackson at the age of 65.

Jackson's work on Belgian beers, The Great Beers of Belgium, was an early influence on us, introducing us to the art of brewing (as well as the art of drinking great beers!). 

Craig and Steve met with Jackson at the 2001 GBBF at Olympia.  We had a chance to thank him in person for helping to show us the way.

We'll be raising a glass of real ale in celebration of the life of this dedicated advocate of beer.
