Episode Synopsis

Jeff 'Beachbum' Berry has made a living from being, as he puts it, a tiki 'geek'. If it wasn't for Beachbum's decades spent doggedly digging up and decoding old trade secrets, many of the classic tiki cocktail recipes we know today would have died with the people who created them. Tiki culture and the rum-based mixed drinks that come with it have been enjoying somewhat of a resurgence lately, and Beachbum's six books - which now culminate in a smartphone app - have been at the absolute heart of that. And since 2014 he's been taking advantage of it himself with his New Orleans venue, Beachbum's Latitude 29. Then, we're joined by Sheena Hartcher, President of the Australian Bartenders Guild, in the Free Pour segment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
