…the beer guy, not the pederast, has gone to that great lauter-tun in the sky.
He passed away in his London home last night, 2007-August-29. Aside from his voluminous works on beer, in fact he could single-handedly be responsible for getting beer into the mainstream press, he traveled extensively and suffered from Parkinson’s for the last ten years.
The last article he published, Did I Cheat Mort Subite, seems awfully chilling now.
The world is worse off without you, Michael. The North American Booze Council salutes you, sir.
