Welcome to our Draft Beer Hideaway Short’s Local’s Light - $5 For generations, Americans have been captivated by the lure of the South American Lager, Bellaire, Michigan 5.2% Pacific. From tales of adventure, to the evocative music, to the spectacular Rockford Brewing arts and crafts. Years before television, the Internet, or global travel, Polynesia for most remained a hazy, distant dream that lay tantalizingly Company ‘Hoplust’ - $7.50 beyond our shores. And one man brought that dream into focus. When Donn American IPA, Rockford, Michigan 7.1% Beach opened his first outpost in Hollywood, CA – Don’s Beachcomber Café in 1933 – he planted a seed that would bloom across the United States for Vander Mill Hard Apple Cider - $8 decades to follow. His vision combined the arts and crafts of the South Seas Semi-Sweet Hard Cider, Grand Rapids, Michigan 6.5% with exciting and elaborate cocktails born from the famed rum punches of the Caribbean. A sensation 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, Wine painters, and musicians from across the globe continue to draw inspiration from the past while offering fresh visions for this re-born art movement.
