Beer cognoscenti Lew Bryson has another tribute to the life and work of Michael Jackson.

The attention—and sales—Jackson generated helped keep open many of the tiny breweries that made these beers. He was recognized for that work in 1994, when Crown Prince Philippe of Belgium presented him with the Mercurius Award for service to Belgian breweries, one of many awards Jackson received. His influence on the American craft-brewing industry was no less significant.

Definitely worth your time.

I tried to keep up with all of the posts from beer bloggers and news sites, but I’m simply overwhelmed.

Let me simply point you to these:

Brewers Association tribute
Google News
Tribute site from Stan Hieronymus

Really Simple Beer Syndication currently shows a lot of articles. Another option is the Beer Blog Search Engine.

In a little bit of synchronicity, I received an original 1977 edition of Mr. Jackson’s World Guide to Beer today in the mail. (I’d requested it a couple of weeks ago via BookMooch.)

A sad day for beerdom

Michael Jackson, the Beer Hunter, who became required reading for anyone ready to move up to better beer, has died.

A sad day indeed.
