The Friday Fermentable: Michael Jackson Remembered

By terrasig on September 7, 2007.

This week has seen an outpouring of sentiments in the wake of the death of famed beer and spirits writer, Michael Jackson.

Therefore, we dedicate this edition of The Friday Fermentable to the memory of this remarkable gentleman and writer.

A post at Michael's Beer Hunter website details a series of resources that celebrate Michael's life and mourn his passing.

Among the links are to Michael's last article, written for All About Beer Magazine, and a video of his last interview on 7 August. The muscle rigidity and jerky movements due to his Parkinson's disease are clearly evident but, like the majority of Parkinson's patients, he is the same old Michael.

Many thanks to all on the internets and in the blogosphere for providing us with these great remembrances of a man who will not come along again for a long time.
