Michael Jackson

a passing giant
leaves a changed world in his wake
his mission is ours

Written by Captain Hops.

References: Michael Jackson, the Beer Hunter, has died.

No individual can fill his shoes, but collectively we must carry on his mission.

Here is a small sampling of the many memorials that have and will be written:

  • Seen Through a Glass
  • Beer Therapy
  • Brookston Beer Bulletin
  • All About Beer
  • Beertown.org
  • Hop Talk has a more thorough collection of memorials

And They Lived Happily Ever After

For that perfect day
March of the Kegerator
was the only way

Written by Captain Hops.

References: On a couple occassions earlier this summer, I mentioned the great Kegerator Giveaway of Summer 2007. Essays were solicited to explain why the entrant was the most deserving of a brand new kegerator with a free kegerator as the ultimate prize. Well the winner has been announced and the essay is well deserving. The winning essay is called The March of the Kegerator. Congratulations Patrick – on the wedding and the win!

A new Kegerator Giveaway contest will be announced later in September. Stay tuned.
