Home > Michael Jackson - The Beer Hunter and Friend Michael Jackson - The Beer Hunter and Friend  1942-2007 August 30, 2007 • It is with deep regret that we must inform you of the passing of Michael Jackson, the Beer Hunter, who died this morning at his home in London, UK. Jackson dedicated more than three decades to the pursuit and documentation of the world’s finest beers, and wrote many books on the subject. He became known as the most widely-published and influential author on beer. He developed a cult television series known as “The Beer Hunter”, and contributed articles to countless magazines and newspapers. Jackson was especially well-known for his particular passion for the specialty brews of Belgium, and his bestseller The Great Beers of Belgium.

After a two hour car ride, my partners and I got to know the true Michael Jackson. He told us how much he enjoyed local foods and local people, not 5 star restaurants. So, after a evening of drinking beer and eating german bratwurst, the following morning, we took him to a local Waffle House so he could experience all the different ways you can experience hash browns. He took alot of notes on how hash browns can be served scattered, smootherd, covered, topped, and chunked and enjoyed talking to the cook. He had to catch a flight at 9:00 the following morning, but we will never forget Waffle House breakfast.
