Maybe that was the problem, I actually DRANK it... maybe it's meant to be tasted and then spit out, like mouthwash...

You wanna talk about a fast train to Drunksville? One of these was the equivalent of a six pack!

[SEYHEYKID]

Picked up some Sam Adams Ocktober Fest.....really tasty beer and a bitch to find.

[Nick C]

Arrrghhh...I keep hearing about this Sam Adams and it was everywhere when I was in Florida this year but I never tried it!!!!! CRAP !!!! I gotta find some over here!!!!!

[Geoff]

I don't know what's going to happen this weekend, but whatever the case I am going to abuse myself with over-consumption of beer... that's a promise to myself.

[Nick C]

I shall have a bottle of wine on Saturday night and relax watching more Mighty Boosh....I'm really into red wine these days.....surely a sign of getting old!

Either that or we're off bat watching up at Hollingworth Lake (as if we haven't enough already flying around the garden at twilight)...in which case me chugging on beer or wine may seem inappropriate!

All of the beer lovers on the board should tip one tonight in tribute to "The Beer Hunter"... R.I.P.

 

Beer critic Michael Jackson dies

LONDON - Michael Jackson, a leading world beer critic who praised the brews of Belgium and acknowledged he would never be as famous as "that Michael Jackson," has died. He was 65.

 

Jackson, known as "the beer hunter," died Thursday of a heart attack at his home in west London. His body was found by his house cleaner, Paddy Gunningham, his long-term partner, said Friday.

 

She said he had kept writing and traveling, despite suffering from Parkinson's disease, and that he planned to write a book about the ailment.

 

"He was simply the best beer writer we've ever known," said Tim Hampson, chairman of the British Guild of Beer Writers. "He told wonderful stories about beer, breweries and far away places. He told the story of beer through people, and he was humorous and erudite at the same time," Hampson told The Associated Press.

 

Jackson especially loved Belgian brews. His books "The Great Beers of Belgium" and "World Guide to Beer" introduced them to many export markets, including the United States.

 

By identifying beers by their flavors and styles, and by pairing them with particular foods and dishes, Jackson helped give birth to a renaissance of interest in beer and breweries worldwide that began in the 1970s, including the North American microbrewery movement.

 

His TV documentary series, "The Beer Hunter" - which popularized his nickname - was filmed around the world and shown in 15 countries.

 

He worked as a beer critic for more than 30 years, writing in newspapers and gastronomic magazines, holding seminars and giving speeches, appearing on U.S. talk shows and writing books about beer and whiskeys published in 18 languages.

 

Jackson knew he would never be as famous as Michael Jackson the rock star, and that was reflected on the beer critic's Web site. "Hello, my name is Michael Jackson. No, not that Michael Jackson, but I am on a world tour. My tour is in pursuit of exceptional beer. That's why they call me the Beer Hunter," it says.

My wife bought some tonight and I just tried it and I have to say it's pretty damn good.

[Evil Rick]

I was going to stop and grab a twelve pack on the way home from work yesterday since I was out after last weekend but forgot. Then, when I opened up the downstairs fridge last night to grab a soda, low and behold there was an 18 pack sitting there right before my eyes! It was an amazing sight indeed!

[Jez]

A New supply of Speckled Hen arrived in the Houshold this morning - happy happy days!!

I have no idea. But I've always liked that fridge. When my wife wanted to sell it I told her no way, I'm keeping it, and moved it downstairs. Maybe it's just returning the love.
