日頃お世話になっている方からの応援メッセージ、最終日を目前にビールインポーター「AQ Bevolution」の桑野アルバートさんからメッセージをいただきました！

実は私がビール醸造の仕事に就く前、こちらの会社でアメリカ・ヨーロッパのクラフトビールの輸入の仕事をしておりました。
約１０年以上も前のことですが、こうして今もサポートいただけて嬉しい限りです。

先日訪れたアメリカのOxbow BrewingやThrees Brewingをはじめ、世界各地の最高のビールを輸入するAQ Bevolution、ぜひチェックしてみてください！

Message from Albert.

I’ve known Naru for more than 10 years now. 
I first met him when he worked in the beer world for another company, and we would often meet at events. 
He was deeply interested in beer so we often chatted and tasted beer together. Through that connection he came to work at my company AQ Bevolution in sales and marketing.
He was one of our early employees and helped AQ to become a force in the craft beer world in Japan. He was a great team member and very popular with our customers, too. There is a Japanese phrase that says someone has a wide face (meaning everybody knows them) and Naru has one of the widest faces I know!!

Naru and I had lots of adventures together through AQ, including an epic trip to America for the GABF. Those interested need to sit down with Naru and I over beers and we can recount all the shit that went down, but I’ll tell you just my favorite part. At the end we got stuck in a hotel in the middle of nowhere outside Denver airport. 
We checked in and I said what do we do now? 
Naru said, “oh, there’s a Thai and sushi place nearby I’ve always wanted to visit!” Only Naru knows about a Thai and sushi place in the middle of nowhere Colorado! And he’s as crazy about food as he is about beer!

After AQ Naru has worked in the beer world in various jobs, most notably for my good friends’ breweries, Ushitora in my home of Tochigi, and Sailor’s Grave in Australia. I was confident to introduce him, and he didn’t let me down. The owners were really happy with him, and his co-workers all quickly became his friends and supporters.

With Naru’s great experience in and his deep knowledge of beer, I know his brewery Falo in Miyagi is going to be awesome and a great success. Naru, kick some ass and make some kickass beer!!!
