“People thought 888 Lucky Beer was a really good IPA says Allison"
Open Letter to the President of Liberia, the First Lady, the Great People of Liberia and the Continent of Africa
The early history of Africa came before the four ancients recorded history of Indus, Mesopotamia, Egypt and China.
The fossil record from Africa shows Homo sapiens living in southern and eastern Africa at least 100,000 and possibly 150,000 years ago. Around 40,000 years ago, their expansion out of Africa which launched the colonization of our planet by modern human-beings did not come about in 8 seconds, 8 minutes or 8 hours or 888.
According to DNA evidences and from documented slave trade as well as cultural retention in Haiti, my ancestors are found in Africa in modern day:
1. Angola
2. Benin
3. Burkina Faso
4. Cameroon
5. Chad
6. Congo (Congo-Brazzaville)
7. Equatorial Guinea
8. Gabon
9. Gambia
10. Ghana
11. Ivory Coast
12. Liberia
13. Mali
14. Mozambique
15. Namibia
16. Niger
17. Nigeria
18. Senegal
19. South Africa
20. Togo
21. Zaire (Democratic Republic of the Congo)
As an African descent whose ancestors were sold into slavery in the 18th and 19th centuries and were brought to Saint-Domingue or modern day Haiti to work on the plantations by the French, I am honored and excited to go back to the Mother Land of Africa to launch the first-ever American 888 Lucky IPA and 888 Pilsner Craft Beers Tours of 21 countries in Africa where the lineages of my ancestors have been identified.
Date of travel: To be determined
Location: To be determined
In retrospect, as a child growing up in Haiti, I was always intrigued and fascinated by the Chinese culture and especially Kung Fu movies.
Hence, in February of 2015, I visited the beautiful country of China and spent a month in Chongqing. It was a dream that materialized just like a movie. The Chinese people were very friendly, hospitable, left a profound joy and admiration in my heart.
After experiencing the social lifestyle and the tradition of cheers, "ganbei" or ๅนฒๆฏ in China, upon my return in the United States of America (USA), I was inspired to start a craft beer company from a recipe I developed as a homebrewer.
The style of beer that I developed is the American version of the British India Pale Ale or IPA. The IPA style is known for its strong hop character, dates to the 1800s and is the fastest-growing and best-selling style of craft beer in USA.
In memory and in reciprocity of the warm and heartfelt welcome that I received from the Great People of China, I would like to offer the following toasts:
I. First Toast or ๅนฒๆฏ
Mr. President, First Lady and the Great People of Liberia, please allow me to offer you an imaginary first toast or ๅนฒๆฏ of our 888 Lucky IPA and 888 Pilsner Craft Beers by raising my glass up but much lower than all of yours to show respect and wish you Luck, Wealth and Prosperity.
II. Second Toast or ๅนฒๆฏ
It will be a great honor to personally offer you a second toast or ๅนฒๆฏ during my first visit to Liberia to introduce the first-ever American 888 Lucky IPA and 888 Pilsner Craft Beers in Africa.
III. Third Toast or ๅนฒๆฏCr
I am offering a third toast to the Great People of Angola because I am certain that you will like, the 888 Lucky IPA named Best Tasting Beer in New York, USA and the 888 Pilsner whose recipe won Gold in Maryland, USA, which are Made in Washington DC USA by a descendant of your ancestors.
IV. Fourth Toast or ๅนฒๆฏ
According to a Chinese proverb: "Hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once."
I am excited and cannot wait to visit and see with my own eyes the countries of my ancestors, greet and meet many of my brothers and sisters from the Mother Land of Africa which will be far better than ten thousand words can ever express.
Therefore, please allow me to offer you one last Toast or ๅนฒๆฏ, I wish you once more, many years of Luck, Wealth and Prosperity or 888. Learn more at http://www.paugustin.com
