Tributes, dinner buffet and craft beers inspired by the late British beer writer, Michael Jackson. For nearly two decades until his untimely death in September 2007, Michael Jackson fueled the craft beer movement regionally through his annual tutored tastings at the Penn Museum. This gala evening will celebrate his legacy through reminiscences, a dinner buffet featuring many of his favorite foods, and of course, lots of great beer. In what promises to be a special measure of his preeminence, we have invited brewers and distributors to either brew a beer inspired by Michael's writing and encouragement, or to bring an existing product that bears the signs of his direct influence, either way, a special measure of the man and his work.
