R.I.P. Michael Jackson

And I don't mean the singer. The Beer Hunter has passed on, and the drinking world has lost a great man.

I'll be raising a few glasses tonight in his honor.

How unfortunate

Condolences to his family.

And a big thank you for promoting our Belgian beer throughout the world

I was only just reading something by him, truly a great guide in discovering whiskey. May he rest peacefully.

I also love his Malt Whisky guide - coincidentally I will meet with a freind today who I often join for whisky tastings. We will have a couple tonight in honor of Michael I guess

OK - the Michael Jackson memorial is over (we had to start a tad early as our friends were over with their 2 year old daughter).

We embraced the bear for Michael (i.e. had a couple of 12 y Lagavulins) and hadsome other rather strong Malts.

I guess I should better head for the "drunkards thread" in the Backroom as I am a bit pished.
