To friendship...with bamboo beer ! There is a beer club in Hamburg (http://bierclub-hamburg.de/) I found on the Net that sells...bamboo beer. It tastes like our Belgian "Brugs Tarwebier" or even our "Wittekerke" "white beer" . Meaning somewhat bitter with a strong lemon aftertaste. Ideal to quench the thirst. I now need to find out what "bamboo extract" has been added to this "Hefeweizen" lookalike. I must say I am less constipated since I drunk it. It could also be the Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids in my bowels who did the job. Only God knows because He is everywhere.
If one day it would be economically viable to grow bamboo species over here in Belgium beer would for sure be one application number one that could work. In the coming weeks I will try to find out more about the wonderful medicinal properties of bamboo extracts so I can add to my current nickname (bamboo king) the word beer in the middle.
A friendly customer from the United Kingdom specialising in hemp fabrics (http://www.hempfabric.co.uk/ ) today ordered my first complete role of black bamboo jersey fabric , that is 53 running metres (1,50 m width) at once. You can make nice bamboo tops or tees with them. I thank Samantha Pickering.
One of the things to add to my site is a FAQ, something I am planning to do since some critical customers started to FAQ (frequently ask questions to) me. This might still take some time so here is a very useful link explaining how bamboo fabric currently can be made : chemically, mecanically or....to be continued. Oh yes, MOBBOA can supply it all.
I met a very nice young man today, who is an innovation advisor at http://www.innovatiecentrum.be/ and who wanted to find out how serious my idea is to grow bamboo beer grass in my guarden. Kristof De Paepe is a very bright fellow too, who learned me a lesson. Don't take yourselve, your company too serious, don't focus too much, keep an open mind and be playful following your intution or just do your thing ("a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do"). In a nutshell : in his spare time, he wanted to compare the interest rate of some Belgian savings banks. So he did, put his comparative table on a blog on the net and before he knew it he got thousands of visitors per day www.spaargids.be (Belgians like to save...the world, I mean their money so apparently they enter the net to learn more about making more money). Now Google Adwords and Adsense do the rest whilst he is meeting a demand. Well done, Kristof. Respect, man.
Tomorrow or later I will finish my blog as follows : remember, bamboo is good for you !
