ベアード・ビールさんで繋がって早2年ちょっと。 この度、素敵な名刺をデザインして頂きました。 タイミングが合えば、二人で個展+お酒+音楽のイベントでもやりましょー。

Message to cooltiger
Can't believe it's already more than two yeas through Baird Beer. Thanks for designing my DJ meishi. Let's do art+drink+music gig together when the right time comes.

Today I have someone whom I've met through Baird Beer (will have him as the 5th guest soon).

May I have your name?
u.g.

Where you are from?
Shunan-shi (ex-Tokuyama-shi), Yamaguchi.

What you do for living?
Planning for network equipments, R&D, and its quiality management.

What interests you besides work?
BEER+WHISKY+DJ! And barrels, casks, and especially how to reuse them.

Are you interested in those three equally?
Yap. I've started with whisky, then beer joined. I've been in the music business before, so it comes along with them naturally.

There are some existed examples with reusing of barrels such as a stereo system. Is there any re-usage which you find interesting?
Reusing them as furnitures or stationeries. Some of major whisky companies have already produced them. It's nice because it can be used for good. Also it would be cool if whisky companies and craft beer companies collaborate on the new beer with full of amora of a barrel.

Do you have any plan to combine your work and any of three?
Maybe not...the current work is unique than ever.

You've been quite serious about them though, as visiting brewery in Hokkaido at your day off, taking part in beer festival as staff or DJ voluntary. What made you do so?
In 1999, I've been in Germany and dropped by a beer pub by myself, who doesn't speak any German at all. One local man offered me one beer and I got hooked by it and a bar's atomosphere. Since then, I'm still drawn in the pool of beer. What my life would be now, if I haven't dropped by that pub?

That's the destiny, I'd call.
Before we wrap this up, what's beer for you?
A liaison between people. So is music, of course.

Thank you very much for today. Don't drink too much though!
