PRESENTER: Jeff “Beachbum” Berry & Dave Wondrich
LOCATION: North Tiki Hut
In the thick jungles and open waters of the South Pacific, how did the Greatest Generation get lit? They adapted and overcame. The swabs made Torpedo Juice, the jarheads made Jungle Juice, and even the kamikazes had their Doburuku. Back on the home front, Trader Vic was smuggling rum up to GIs in the Aleutians, while Don The Beachcomber was angling to become Party-Planner-In-Chief for the flyboys in North Africa. And when the war was over, it was just the beginning for the golden age of Tiki that returning vets inspired. Join David Wondrich and Beachbum Berry on a booze-fueled Pacific tour of duty, with detours to the Russian Front and El Alamein. Praise the Lord and pass the cocktail shaker!
