Please follow me on Twitter and Instagram, “Like” Inu a Kena on Facebook, and keep coming back! I also have an MBA, which I hope to use in the spirits business one day.

I care about responsible alcohol consumption, and have completed the Level Two California Responsible Beverage Training course.
EXIMO BEV MO PROFESSIONAL
I’m a graduate of Bar Smarts Advanced, and I hold a Spirits Professional certification as a member of the United States Bartender’s Guild, Northern California Chapter . By night, I switch from water to spirits, spending much of my time in my home bar dubbed Josh’s Okole Maluna* Lounge. By day I sell desalination and other water treatment systems for use in large industrial settings. I’m a spirit and cocktail enthusiast living on an island in the the San Francisco Bay. It seems a fitting title for a blog where I try to quench a thirst for knowledge about fine spirits and craft cocktails. Aloha and e komo mai to Inu A Kena! Inu a kena translates from the Hawaiian to “drink until satisfied” or “drink to quench thirst”.
