Our friend, Caroline, from The Bier Garden rang yesterday that they will be a local host to the national toast to Michael Jackson, the English beer writer. It’s great to see one of local beer meccas play a part in this. The details: Toast will be at 9pm on Sunday, Sept. 30 at the bar. Be there at 8:45pm or so to participate. Donations will be taken for the National Parkinson Foundation, which will be part of a ceremonial contribution to the foundation on behalf of participating venues at the Great American Beer Festival on Oct. 13.
