💕「愛台灣,我的選擇」系列第15發:臺虎董事長黃一葦(Peter Huang) 要讓臺虎精釀 Taihu Brewing成為台灣年輕人才發光發熱與實踐夢想的平台
「儘管我有著東方面孔,但我不是台灣人,家族根源也不在台灣。一直到我念大學時 (美國麻薩諸塞州的威廉斯學院,非常棒的學校),我才透過普林斯頓北京中文培訓班的機會,真正到東亞來闖蕩。
大學畢業之後,我埋首於數字和表格之間,精釀啤酒陪我撐過了這段辛苦的歲月。我的職涯始於紐約,但後來輾轉來到亞洲 (名義上是去新加坡,但主要是在印尼、緬甸和馬來西亞)。
在數字間打轉從來不是我的夢想。身為一個負責任且典型的千禧世代,我一直很想獨立開創自己的事業,如果能將個人興趣和創業機會相結合,那就太完美了。而精釀啤酒就是那完美的交集點!精釀工藝的精神我深有同感,這是一種對未來可能性充滿嚮往、不盲目接受現狀的精神;同時也代表著與一群優秀的人才,一起開發令人驚喜的產品,並打造屬於自己的社群。
成立臺虎精釀的契機出現之後,我立刻想到台灣。之所以選擇這裡,不是因為台灣文化很吸引人 (雖然確實是),不是因為台灣有著厚實的文化傳統 (雖然確實有),更不是因為台灣的好山好水。
我選擇台灣的主要原因是這裡遇到的人。很多人會說,人生中有兩個家庭,一個是你的原生家庭,另一個是你自己選擇的家庭。對我來說,那個我自己選擇的家庭,似乎就在台灣。
臺虎精釀的商標 (由台灣傑出設計師Jess Lee設計) 由老虎、啤酒花和葫蘆三個元素組成,葫蘆是古代盛酒的容器。
葫蘆就不需要多加解釋了,但啤酒花是當代精釀啤酒的基石,代表著創新創意的精神。事實上,我們使用的絕大多數啤酒花都來自美國,畢竟美國是精釀啤酒的中心 (過去20年一直都是)。美國的啤酒花產業 (還有麥芽產業) 可以說是世界之最,也難怪經典IPA啤酒中最受歡迎的啤酒花都來自美國。
商標中的老虎是為了向早期台灣作為「亞洲四虎」(亞洲四小龍) 的年代致敬。當年台灣經濟快速起飛,產業朝氣蓬勃,民眾無不對未來充滿樂觀和期待。
老虎代表的正是那樣的生機勃勃、神采煥發。臺虎167名員工幾乎都是台灣人。我們認為,與其說臺虎是一個釀酒廠,不如說臺虎是讓台灣年輕人才發光發熱、實踐夢想的平台。
我們的目標是吸引並培育人才,最終目標希望能夠在台灣發展出欣欣向榮的創業生態圈。Sway是我們成立初期的成員,她一開始是在吧台工作,非常優秀。在小公司工作的好處就是,你可以盡你所能所想去做,Sway後來開始慢慢接觸進口通關業務,現在是我們全球物流的主管 (很不簡單)。
也許有一天,她會開創自己的事業,進而將這份育才的信念在台灣新創圈繼續傳承下去。」— 臺虎董事長黃一葦 Peter Huang
💕Why I chose Taiwan #15 – Taihu Brewing Founder Peter Huang leads Taihu to become a platform for Taiwan young talents to carry out their dreams and express themselves
“Despite appearances, I’m neither Taiwanese nor have roots here. It took college (Williams College in Massachusetts – phenomenal place), to really bring me out to East Asia via Princeton’s immersion program in Beijing.
Post-graduation, I paid my dues shuffling numbers around in a spreadsheet. Craft beer made it bearable-ish. Working life began in New York, but ultimately landed me in Asia (nominally Singapore, primarily Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia).
Shuffling numbers was not the dream. So, as a responsibly stereotypical millennial, I had an urge to venture out on my own. Ideally, to try something at the intersection of opportunity and interest. Craft beer! The craft movement itself struck a chord - a yearning for what could be, rather than blind acceptance of what is. It is about building communities around delightful products and, critically, wonderful people.
When the opportunity to start Taihu appeared, my mind immediately went to Taiwan. Not necessarily because the culture is fantastic (though it is), nor because it has a strong cultural heritage (though it does), and not even because the island itself is a magical composition of mountains meeting oceans.
Ultimately, I chose Taiwan because of the people I met here. There’s a tired trope that you get two families in life, the one you’re born into and the one you choose. For me, that chosen family, well, it seemed like it could be in Taiwan.
Taihu Brewing’s logo (designed by brilliant local artist, Jess Lee) is comprised of a tiger and hops within a hulu (traditional Chinese alcohol vessel).
The hulu needs no explanation, but hops are the cornerstone of modern craft beer. They represent the innovation inherent in the space. In fact, the vast majority of the hops that we use are from the United States. Since the US is the epicenter of craft brewing (and has been over the last twenty years), the American hop industry (malt too, actually) is arguably the best in the world. It is for good reason that the most popular hops in category-defining IPAs are American.
The tiger is a nod to an earlier era when Taiwan was one of the “Four Asian Tigers.” Taiwan’s meteoric economic rise was accompanied by deterministic optimism, vibrancy, and general excitement about the future.
The tiger represents that energy. That sense of opportunity, positivity, and hope. Taihu’s 167 employees are almost entirely Taiwanese. Internally, we think of Taihu as more of a platform for young Taiwanese talent than as a brewery, a medium for that energy to express itself.
Our goal to attract and develop talent with the ultimate goal of developing the burgeoning entrepreneurial ecosystem here in Taiwan. One of our earliest team members, Sway, came on board as a bartender -- a fantastic bartender. At a small company, you do what you can, where you can, and Sway ended up taking up some of the slack in our logistics. Now she runs all of Taihu’s international supply chain (no small feat).
With luck, one day she’ll be running her own successful Taiwanese business, and, in doing so, perpetuate the cycle.” — Peter Huang, founder of Taihu Brewing
同時也有1部Youtube影片,追蹤數超過4萬的網紅謙預 QianyuSG,也在其Youtube影片中提到,祖先過世已久,升天的少得可憐,要投胎得人身,又得等很久、很久、很久的時間,有時人間已過了數十年,也沒得他們去輪迴的份,在陰間也過得不如意。也有祖先福德不夠,在世時造了罪不可恕的惡業,死後就馬上墮入畜牲道、餓鬼道,甚至地獄道。 祖先死後的命運,因為血脈相連,一點一滴地影響著我們後代,就猶如我們父母的...

老師很認真地寫 tip,但其實一個三年級學生怎會不知道做這類 fill in the blanks 的題目,答案只可在表格中選取,並且每個只可以用一次呢!他又明顯在搞怪,還刻意加了 me 和me too 讓句子完整。又確實,每句都用 next to 真的算錯嗎?
我問他,為甚麼這樣做?他答:「攪笑囉!」然後自己哈哈大笑起來,我又問道:那你覺得老師批改這份作業的時候,有沒有笑呢?他不在乎的聳聳肩,「唔知道喎。」
圖 2:
小學生就知道有 because 就用 why 吧!但正仔問我,「我有甚麼錯?上面 Jenny 都沒有提到自己 happy,發問的一方又怎知道她是 happy?」那我仔細看看題目,其實正常對答的情況下,一方問 how did she feel,然後對方答 she felt happy 然後再 elaborate 自己的想法,加上 because xxx,又真的很正常。那我唯有解釋,遇到這類題目的時候,你獨立看待每一條問題就可以,老師不過想考考你是否認識 why 和 because 的關係而已,題目之間沒有甚麼連繫。
功課、測考的題目與 model answers,有時真的與真實生活脫節。現實生活中,根本沒有一板一眼的標準答案。
#考試又到喇
#相信佢仍然維持呢種態度
#媽媽已有心理準備

祖先過世已久,升天的少得可憐,要投胎得人身,又得等很久、很久、很久的時間,有時人間已過了數十年,也沒得他們去輪迴的份,在陰間也過得不如意。也有祖先福德不夠,在世時造了罪不可恕的惡業,死後就馬上墮入畜牲道、餓鬼道,甚至地獄道。
祖先死後的命運,因為血脈相連,一點一滴地影響著我們後代,就猶如我們父母的命運如何影響我們,而我們的命運也影響著我們的孩子。
這時,後代為祖先報名超度,就能冥陽兩利。何謂超度?為何能冥陽兩利?
一般人只知道南無大願地藏王菩薩能度陰,但你知道祂也能庇佑孕婦,幫助想生男孩的媽媽嗎?

Among our ancestors who have passed away long ago, a paltry number make it to Heaven, if any. To be reincarnated as a human, they have to wait a long, long, long time.
Sometimes, a few decades have passed, and they are still waiting in line for their turn to be reborn, while having a difficult life in the netherworld.
There are also ancestors who have committed grave sins and upon their death, they immediately fall into the terrible realms of animals, hungry ghosts and Hell.
The afterlife destiny of our ancestors affects us, the descendants, in more ways than most of us realise. It is similar to how our parents' destiny have an impact on us growing up, and how ours affect our children's destiny.
Hence, registering our ancestors for bardo deliverance benefits both the dead and living. So just what is bardo deliverance? How can this help the descendants and ancestors?
Most people commonly know Namo Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva as one who can deliver the dead. But do you know He can also protect pregnant women, and help mothers who wish to give birth to sons?
