From Sept. 15, 2012: "Jackson, Louisville, and the Color Red."

I'm in reruns for a few days, posting past columns of note.

It's a story that ties together the Red Room, geography, colors, politics and beer.

Jackson, Louisville, and the Color Red

Michael Jackson unexpectedly visited the former Rich O’s Public House in November, 1994, a tad more than two years after we opened. If I hadn’t been drinking for much of the same day, tagging along as the Beer Hunter made pre-arranged appearances at Bluegrass Brewing Company and the now defunct Silo, I’d have been far too nervous to properly function as host.
