Program by Jeff “Beachbum” Berry

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 Jeff “Beachbum” Berry on a booze-fueled Pacific tour of duty.

One of Imbibe magazine’s “25 Most Influential Cocktail Personalities of the Past Century,” Jeff “Beachbum” Berry is the author of seven books and an iPhone app about vintage tropical drinks. Esquire calls Jeff “one of the instigators of the cocktail revolution” and Food & Wine “one of the world’s leading rum experts,” while The New York Times cites him as “the Indiana Jones of Tiki drinks” and The Los Angeles Times as “A hybrid of street-smart gumshoe, anthropologist and mixologist.”
Jeff’s restaurant in New Orleans, Beachbum Berry’s Latitude 29, has won critical acclaim in Playboy, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The Houston Chronicle, GQ, Travel + Leisure, and the Food Network, among others.
