💕「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

🖐🏽 五分鐘來關心國際時事— 葛萊美獎🇺🇸
📰 At Grammy Nominations, Nods to Beyoncé and Taylor Swift but The Weeknd Is Snubbed
The music awards offer an unusual mix of conventional and little-known artists, who also surprise with top nods
📌 這篇文章關於流行音樂，用了生動、屬於口語的詞匯，值得大家學習。Grammy就是美國著名的格蘭美音樂獎，標題提到格蘭美肯定碧昂絲和泰勒斯，所用的字是nod (點頭)，威肯則被冷落了(snubbed)。
The Grammy Award nominations are out, and there is a glaring number of unexpected nods and snubs: Less-known artists like Jacob Collier and Black Pumas and rock institution Coldplay scored nominations for top prizes. But The Weeknd? Shut out completely.
📌 這段提述格蘭美獎給公佈了(out)，一些不太爲人所知的藝人(lesser-known artists)和在搖滾音樂裏是出名的人 (rock institution)獲得提名大獎 (top prizes)，但是 The Weekend被摒棄(shut out)。
It’s a surprising turn: A year ago, the annual awards show seemed to have a finger on pop music’s new guard. But the nominees for next year’s prizes, announced by the Recording Academy on Tuesday, are a mix of quirky and conventional, with small, niche artists receiving high-profile nods, widely favored and zeitgeisty acts getting snubbed and established names instead of newcomers dominating overall nominations. Next year’s Grammys will take place on Jan. 31 in Los Angeles, hosted by “The Daily Show” host and comedian Trevor Noah
📌 這段形容這是令人驚訝的事態的變化(surprising turn)。一年前，格蘭美獎似乎確定(have a finger on)流行音樂的新衛士派(new guard)，今年情況不一樣。
.
Three of the eight nominations for the most prestigious prize, Album of the Year, went to R&B singer Jhené Aiko, genre-crossing music prodigy Jacob Collier and retro-soul duo Black Pumas. These are less commercially-successful artists that have currency with Grammy voters but may be unfamiliar to most music fans. Veteran rock band Coldplay was also nominated in the category, a surprise given the lack of buzz in the run-up to the nominations. And the only rapper recognized for the top award is Post Malone, who straddles the fence with pop music. Other nominees in this category include pop star Dua Lipa—considered a major contender—Taylor Swift and rock sister-trio Haim. Beyoncé, who leads the pack with nine nominations overall, is the most nominated female artist in Grammy history.
📌 這段交代各得獎人的細節，當中使用流行音樂常見的詞匯，學了這些詞匯可以提高這方面的表達能力。
In perhaps the biggest upset this year, R&B-pop crooner The Weeknd was shut out of all award nominations. The Canadian superstar was considered a frontrunner by many in the music business, having released one of 2020’s most successful and praised albums, “After Hours.” (The Weeknd is also playing next year’s Super Bowl.) On Monday, “Blinding Lights,” one of The Weeknd’s recent songs, became the longest-running Top-Ten hit in the 62-year history of Billboard’s singles chart.
On Tuesday evening, The Weeknd criticized his Grammy shut-out on Twitter. “The Grammys remain corrupt,” he said. “You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency.”
In response, the Recording Academy’s interim CEO and President, Harvey Mason Jr., said it was an “unusual and competitive year.”
“We understand that The Weeknd is disappointed... I was surprised and can empathize,” Mr. Mason Jr. said. He also addressed speculation that The Weeknd was asked to pick between performing at the Super Bowl and the Grammys. “Voting in all categories ended well before The Weeknd’s performance at the Super Bowl was announced, so in no way could it have affected the nomination process,” Mr. Mason Jr. said.
📌 這三段關於威肯指責格蘭美獎腐敗的(corrupt)，缺乏透明度(transparency)，格蘭美獎負責人的反應(response)是今年是不尋常的(unusual)和競爭激烈的(competitive)。 他也回應一個揣測(speculation)，說威肯不獲提名獎項跟在美國橄欖球超級杯大賽(Super Bowl) 表演無關。

Podcast Echo #30：主持人擁有自己的節目嗎？
👉 《The Nod》主持人與 Gimlet 爆發版權爭議，主持人擁有自己的節目嗎？
1. 《The Nod》這檔 Gimlet 上的知名黑人文化節目由 Luse 和 Eddings 主持，當節目劃下句點，Gimlet 卻能繼續透過舊內容投放廣告，他們想上傳音檔宣傳和 Quibi 合作的新節目也得有 Gimlet 首肯。
2. 原因是 Gimlet 在節目尚未走紅前就全職聘請兩位主持人製作節目，就合約來說，Gimlet 擁有這個節目（及其 RSS feed）。
3. 和早期音樂產業生態類似，歌手不知道自己有（或將會有）多少價值，也缺乏議價能力，往往會簽下現在看來相當不平等的合約。
👉 從各地市場差異來看，Apple Podcast V.S. Spotify 的格局也許是個假議題？
1. Voxnest 六月底發布了 Podcast 產業年中報告，根據這份報告，就下載量而言，Spotify 在許多市場上比 Apple 更具優勢。
2. Spotify 的下載量是否與 Apple 能用同個標準衡量？只要下載的音檔更新，Spotify 將會自動重新下載，所以 Spotify 的下載數字可能比正常情況更高。
3. 只關注兩強格局容易被誤導，在南亞，JioSaavn 有一億用戶，在南韓，Podbang 佔據了市場的七成，根據路透社的報導，BBC Sounds 在英國的用戶比起 Apple 和 Spotify 都還要多。
👉 49% 聽眾每週至少收聽一檔獨立 Podcast，頭部發行商的壟斷仍然明顯。
1. Edison Research 先前發表過一個數字，你只需要對排行前五的 Podcast 發行商下廣告，就能覆蓋 50% 的 Podcast 聽眾。
2. 早期如果你要達到這樣的覆蓋率，需要對成千上萬檔節目下廣告，發展與壟斷是並行的。
3. 新數字：有 49% 聽眾每至少收聽一檔獨立 Podcast（不屬於任何一個發行商的節目），我們沒有歷史數字可以參考，不過它未來的變動值得關注。
👉 紐約時報第三屆學生 Podcast 競賽公布結果，青少年關注武漢肺炎中的經驗。
1. 紐時在六月底公布學生 Podcast 競賽結果，共有超過 1300 份不超過五分鐘的作品參賽。
2. 青少年關注的主題普遍和武漢肺炎的經驗有關。
3. 特別有趣的作品：穆斯林女孩足球營的成立，跨性別舞者挑戰寶萊塢。
