Christmas Beer $13.56 Christmas beers, also known as Winter Warmers, are a tradition dating back at least 2,000 years, with the ancients making highly intoxicating brews to celebrate winter’s Saturnalia. This brewmaking evolved into a holiday celebration when medieval monks, the world’s first professional brewers, pulled out their finest ingredients to produce soul-warming styles for the occasion. Today brewers continue the custom, either with centuries-old recipes or newfangled concoctions with spices and herbs, enabling thirsty beer fans to put aside their everyday favorites each winter and deck the halls with the world’s most flavorful ales and lagers, brewed especially for the holidays. Beer expert Don Russell taps into holiday cheer with a look at the world’s best--unusual, exotic, rich, one-of-a-kind brews--detailing the styles and flavors that will leave beer lovers in a froth. From Smuttynose Winter Ale to Santa’s Butt to Troegs Mad Elf to Left Hand XXXmas, there’s a beer for everyone, even a Hanukkah beer, He’Brew Jewbelation. Including funny tales and trivia behind the beers, homebrew recipes and food recipes with Christmas beer as an ingredient, and instructions for building and cellaring your own vintage holiday brews so you can enjoy Christmas 365 days a year, Christmas Beer will put even the most curmudgeonly beer drinker in the holiday spirit. Cheers! |

Celebrity Autographs – Michael Jackson, more than Just a Piece of Paper
Yesterday Michael Jackson died. So, for the next few months there will be thousands of articles, TV and online dedications. We will hear all the talking heads discussing his legacy. His fans and those who despised him (primarily his personal life dramas) . So, I will leave all that to the self proclaimed experts.
So, like a couple of young 20 something kids we went to the front entrance for an MJ sighting. Just as we entered, we looked toward the glass elevator where we could see him going up, with several adoring young girls screaming below. Hotel Security was standing there so no one had a chance to follow him up. After about 20 minutes my friend somehow found out what floor he was on. As we attempted to enter the elevator hotel security asked where we were going. And, like a “genius” I responded “to party with our friend Mike”. He just looked at us, smiling at my corny sense of humor, and shook his head “no”.
So, since luck was not with us on that particular night of opportunity we decided to go to a nearby bar. After a couple hours a few guys walked in and sat next to us. I started up a conversation with one of them who turns out was on the security detail for Jackson. He told us what a crazy night it was and was amazed at how obsessed people were about MJ. He then reached in his coat pocket and pulled out a slip of paper with a signature on it. He says that since everyone was asking for autographs, he felt awkward not also getting a memento of his famous client. So, he asked the hotel clerk for a piece of paper. The hotel clerk pulled out a blank pad and ripped a piece of paper. He walked over to MJ and waited for a second of opportunity. MJ then signed that piece of paper. Somewhere along the night I became the new owner of that piece of paper from the nearly intoxicated security guard (I think it cost me a beer). The only thing I recall him telling me about MJ was that he was standing next to MJ back stage and that MJ was taller than expected, and also that MJ made a humorous remark just before going on stage.
Ok, I know this Is not such an exciting story, since we never did met the “King of Pop”. But, what I realized last night is that as a dealer of celebrity autographs and movie posters, I never put this autograph up for sale. I have maintained it in my collection for about 25 years. I have always known it was there and often looked at it while organizing my office. However, this was not the typical autograph acquisition by purchase, this was an “experience”. That’s when I remembered, what I’ve always believed, autograph collecting is NOT just a signature on a piece of paper, it’s an “experience”. It is an experience to own a piece of history. Owning an autograph document signed by John Kennedy is not just a piece of paper, it’s a piece of all the history that JFK contributed to the human race. Even a piece of DNA from this 50 year old man that indeed had important historical, cultural, and social significance.
The Michael Jackson autograph I acquired that night 25 years ago was an experience that is multidimensional. My own experience as a young 22 year old, Michael Jackson’s magic on the city of Providence the security detail that protected MJ and their personal contact with him. And, a small piece of DNA from what many believe could have been the most incredibly gifted, gargantuan of an entertainer the universe had ever experienced. Michael Jackson’s cultural, and social significance may even today be underestimated. Just think, nearly 100 years after Rudolph Valentino’s death his cultural impact is still with us, just look at what collectors will pay for his original memorabilia. And, Valentino didn’t have the global appeal that MJ had. I have no doubt that today’s 14 year old girl will be telling her great-grandchildren about Michael Jackson.
So, this MJ signed piece is not just an autograph I bought or won at an auction. It is an in person experience on a night when I was within arm’s reach of the King of Pop himself.
And, I think I’ll keep it.
