There is an effort underway to create a film about the legacy of beer writer Michael Jackson’s. Here’s some information about the film, from the website:
Michael Jackson, beloved beer journalist, inspired thousands of brewers and beer enthusiasts with his books and television series, “The Beer Hunter.” He achieved cult status in the U.S., but many don’t realize his fame within the world of whiskey writing and tasting.
Filmmaker J.R. Richards traveled extensively with Michael throughout the United States and Europe, filming Michael as he got the story behind the world’s greatest beer and whiskey. Through this footage and interviews with leading brewers and beer enthusiasts, we are treated to an intimate picture of Michael: his enigmatic personality, his extraordinary life, his remarkable contributions, and his secret struggle with Parkinson’s Disease.
And here’s an early trailer:
But the filmmakers need your help to finish the movie and bring it to the world, helping to preserve Michael’s legacy. Please consider a small donation — just $10 will be appreciated — though if you want to be more generous, that will be appreciated as well. Donations of any amount can be made online through PayPal.
