Not referring to the internationally famous pop icon, of course. I have heard beer aficionados talk about someone named Michael Jackson, and it's clear that be played an important part in the modern beer world. Who was he, and what were those contributions?

1I didn't down vote you (as I write this you are currently at -1), but I would hazard a guess that the reason at least someone down voted you is because it took longer for you to type this question than it would have for you to type "michael jackson beer" into a search engine and have the answer.– mikeYCommented Jan 30, 2014 at 16:33

7Yes, but the point is to become a repository for questions. Beer.SE will eventually become the google answer for "Who was Michael Jackson" and similar questions.– FishtoasterCommented Jan 30, 2014 at 17:19

+1 for giving someone else to earn points on the question.– Andrew CheongCommented Jan 30, 2014 at 19:14

He was an English author who was a noted expert on beer and whiskey, and he wrote a number of books on beer, probably most famously The World Guide to Beer.
To add some information, he was known as the "Beer Hunter". He would travel around the world in the pursuit of new beers. Unfortunately he died in 2007. Wikipedia has quite a lot more info about his life if you are interested.
His website, which is called Beer Hunter, contains parts of his work and is accessible here
