I just received this...
From the editor of All About Beer Dear Friends, > > We learned this morning that Michael Jackson died last night at his home in London. We’re feeling stunned, and know his many friends will, too. We are both devestated and saddened since he was a friend, a mentor and one of our favorite writers. We talked with his staff and his death appears to have been peaceful. You may also know of the extent of his illness which he had begun discussing publicly in the past several months. Ironically, we were just editing his most recent column for All About Beer, which, poignantly, concerned his having “cheated Mort Subite” this year. > > We are preparing a memorial for Michael on our website, to be echoed in the pages of the magazine that is in production. In a few hours we will publish his final column, along with his first column from 1984, on our website and open a memorial page where his friends can share their thoughts and stories. We will capture some some of these memories in print. > > We’re sure we speak for all of you when we say our community has lost a good friend and champion. He gave beer a language and taught so many of us to speak it. > > > Daniel and Julie Bradford |

Truly sad - his writing on beer and scotch helped educate me as well as fuel my passion for both beverages. He will be greatly missed.

Does anyone know and have a reliable reference to his birth date? I'd like to update the wikipedia entry.

How about some kind of group tribute beer? Sounds like something I would want to have a bottle of with a special label that stays on my bar (when I get one - for now it can jsut be in my kegerator).
any ideas? |

I agree, a tribute beer is certainly in order. How about something English in inpiration and for the ages, not unlike MJ, himself... |
