"Jim Patton (February 24, 1953 - October 23, 2012) was a founder of the Abita Brewing Co. in 1986, the first microbrewery in the south, and one of the earliest anywhere."
***************
“Born February 24, 1953, Patton earned a bachelor's degree from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, where he met his wife of 42 years. His first career was in professorship, earning a doctorate in cultural anthropology from Washington and Lee University in St. Louis, where he was a Dougherty Fellow specializing in Andean agricultural economics.
In 1980, Patton took a break from academia to visit friends in Abita Springs, Louisiana for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Soon after he moved to teach at Southeastern and Xavier universities in southern Louisiana.
Patton made an abrupt career change, deciding to leave the 'politics in the teaching' to become a full-time brewer, applying his research skills and business acumen to start a company that would become among the cornerstones of the craft beer movement in the United States.
'One thing my academic background did teach me was research and study,' Patton told the Spartanburg Herald-Journal in 1994.
Abita Brewing Company debuted its first beer on July 4, 1986, and brewed only 1,500 barrels that year. Patton sold the brewery in 1998, but his legacy continued in the recipes for Abita’s flagship beers: Purple Haze, Turbo Dog, Amber, Andygator and Abita root beer. In 2011, Abita brewed over 130,000 barrels, and their product is available in 46 states, making it synonymous with Louisiana and one of the most widely distributed craft beers in the U.S.
After leaving Abita, Patton continued his entrepreneurship and brewing knowledge to co-found Zea Rotisserie, a chain of brewpubs in New Orleans, where he was also a brewmaster.
Patton went on to brew for Key West Brewery. A San Francisco native, he also returned to northern California to study wine, taking distance learning courses through the University of California-Davis. He was an avid wine maker, working for wineries in Oregon and California.
Earlier this year, Patton responded to Brignoni’s ad on probrewer.com seeking a brewmaster. Patton came aboard with Wynwood Brewing in late September. Patton settled into an apartment in the Wynwood district of Miami, where he was attracted by the arts and street culture.
When WBC opens later this year or early 2013, it will be the first production craft brewery to open in the city of Miami since Wagner Brewing Company in 1934.
Patton was an avid explorer and Sierra Club member. As a teenager, he explored the mountains of his native California on foot, bike and cross-country skiing. In his twenties he hiked the Inca Trail, exploring Patagonia and the caves oof the Maya mountains. He was a champion for peace and passionate defender of wild places and sustainability.
An extremely kind man, Patton kept cool and confident during difficult situations, believing that good will eventually triumph.
He was a man of many locations throughout the U.S., traversing between Washington state, California, New Orleans, Key West and Miami, keeping an intimate connection to each place. [...]
He is survived by his mother, Peggy, his wife, Kathleen, his daughter, Kathryn, his son, Will, and his two sisters, Amy and Betty.”

Okay, so I confess I've been a bad owner and rooting for JxV instead of JxY, so Ying got his appreciation day today >3
Some amusing happenings while I was photographing them earlier:
My house-help was heading upstairs to pack our washed laundry into their respective cupboards;
"Eh stop talking gay pictures of your dolls and let me cross!! -___-!!"
When she was in my room;
Her: "You only have 6 dolls? You sold the rest??? " *counts the stacked boxes next to my bed*
Me: "Eh I think you haven't open the cupboard! XD;;; "
