On the 30th of August 2007 Michael Jackson, the world
renowned beer and whisky writer passed away in his London home. Every year in September Regional
Wines and Spirits hold a special beer tasting to celebrate Michael’s life and
the influence he had on the world of beer. We use Michael’s ‘desert island’ top
24 list of beers as a reference point and add a few extra beers we know he
liked. This year we collected a fantastic range of classic beers together,
pleasingly for us those who attended the tastings found choosing which beers to
vote for very hard.
In the end one of the more subtle styles of beer came out on
top. That a 5.9% Extra Special Bitter won out over some very big and flavourful
competition is a tribute to how much character the Fullers Brewery packs into
their sessionable ales.
