Michael Jackson.

No moonwalking ona fancy
million-dollar Hollywood set; no
nose‘jobs or oddball fixations with:

entertaining amble down the
pungent and hallowed halls of

eerdom. .

Leading that amble is the world’s
current reigning Sultan of Suds:
the man who once sampled 500
different beers in five weeks
through 25 states in America; the
man who has lectured at Cornell
University on the importance of

beer; the man known worldwide
as “The Beer Hunter.”

Please welcome, North Van-
couver, Mr. Michael Jackson, one
of the world’s most famous and
informed hopheads — a grand and
garrulous fellow on an interna-
tional mission to raise canscious-
ness and appreciation for the
glories of what the less
sophisticated lager lout might
oafishly refer to as a Barley Sand-
wich.

Jackson, he of the rumpled pro-

fessor look, led a recent seminar at

Earl's Tin Palace in North Van-
couver.

He talked beer, and a host of
folk, including Table Hopping rep-
resentatives, hoisted a brace of
glasses filled with various brands
and types of beer as we absorbed
his enlightening message.

Earl would like ta take a moment to
salute chef Stewart Fuller. Stewart began
his career way back in 1982 with Earls
first restaurant in the Lower Mainland.
Obviously, the business was to his liking
because he's stiff at it and has worked his
wily up fo a management position in the
Earls organization.

As his responsibilities grew through
the 1980's, Stewart began to specialize
in the training of people for new
restitirant openings throughout Western
Canada and the United States.
Commencing in the fallof 1988, he
spentia year as General Manager af Earls
new location in San Frincisco. But, for
all he had Jeamed about the restaurant
business, Stewart sll felt there nore
to know; bke how to prepare che
exceptional food Earls is Gumous for.

accredi
white still maneging to open two new
Earls restaurants and diking over as
General Manager of
in Vancouver. This
his tenacity and fack of any social life.

Because beer; you see, is far
from the base workingman’s brew
‘itis so often portrayed as.

In the words of the esteemed!
Mr. Jackson, beer is a much ma-
ligned and misunderstood bever-
age.

Contrary to its macho redneck
image, it is a fragile and delicate
brew with characteristics as com-
plex as wine.

Beer, jackson will tell you, is
drunk more widely around the
world than wine but much less is
known about beer and its
countless virtues as a revitalizing
beverage and a dining companion.

The regulation Canadian beer
drinker, weaned on the indistin-
guishable river of mainstream
brew from the big Canadian
breweries, should know that beer,
with its variety of grains and hops,
has a breadth of character that
makes it an ideal accompaniment
for virtually any food. A more ver-
satile companion than wine, ac-
cording to Jackson.

Try, for example, matching a
wine with asparagus or chocolate.
No luck? Well, Jackson has a
beer for both and a brew for any-
thing else you might want to con-

sume.
