On today's episode we chat with Jeff "Beachbum" Berry. Jeff is a fixture in the tiki and craft cocktail community. He is the author of the Grog Log, Intoxica, Remixed, Sippin' Safari, Taboo Table, Potions of the Caribbean and is close to releasing a new book celebrating the 10 year anniversary of Sippin' Safari. Jeff shares with us a wealth of history in both tiki and cocktails and even answers a few questions provided by our listeners!
