Welcome to our Hideaway For generations, Americans have been captivated by the lure of the South Pacific. From tales of adventure, to the evocative music, to the Draft Beer spectacular arts and crafts. Years before television, the Internet, or Short’s Rockford Rotating global travel, Polynesia for most remained a hazy, distant dream that lay tantalizingly beyond our shores. And one man brought that dream Local’s Light brewing Tap into focus. When Donn Beach opened his first outpost in Hollywood, CA American Lager, Bellaire, ‘Hoplust’ Ask us – Don’s Beachcomber Café in 1933 – he planted a seed that would bloom Michigan 5.2% American IPA, Rockford, across the United States for decades to follow. His vision combined the $4.50 Michigan 7.1% arts and crafts of the South Seas with exciting and elaborate cocktails born from the famed rum punches of the Caribbean. A sensation $6.50 overnight, the popularity of what would ultimately be called the tiki bar spread following both World War II and Hawaiian statehood. Fellow pioneers like Trader Vic and Steve Crane expanded their restaurant empires to bring their escapist experiences to all corners of America. Soon homes, apartment buildings, hotels, and countless businesses began to adopt ersatz South Pacific design elements like A-frame roof lines, tropical landscaping, and island carvings. Often, it was here in the Midwest where the escape to a far-off island had the most profound impact, particularly in the dead of winter. But the spell was broken by the end of the 1960s. Almost instantly, the great tiki temples of America began to shutter or were remodeled into faceless anonymity. So widespread was the devastation, that it was almost as though the 40-year long fantasia never even happened. In the 80s and 90s, a few intrepid explorers began to piece together the remnants of this lost civilization, and a new tiki renaissance rose from the ashes. Today, the tiki arts are thriving once again as a vibrant community of carvers, sculptors, painters, and musicians from across Wine the globe continue to draw inspiration from the past while offering fresh visions for this re-born art movement.
