    New this year:<\/strong> The well-respected OC Bartenders Cabinet will be shaking up actual Tiki cocktails for demonstration and sampling. Several bartenders are teaming up with breweries to also collaborate on tropical\/tiki-style cask beers.<\/p>\n

    Why? Of the hundreds of different flavors of beer, a large portion can be described as \u201ctropical\u201d. Whether it be IPAs bursting with mango, pineapple, or passion fruit hoppy notes; stouts with Pina Colada and Mai Tai vibes, or even Belgian-style beers with Zombie cocktail overtones…<\/p>\n

    \u201cLooking at the previous three Firkfest events, I saw a common denominator: tropical-style beers seemed to stand out. As a huge cocktail nerd that loves Tiki culture, it\u2019s time for the area\u2019s craft brewers to come together, throw on some grass skirts, and make something truly unique,\u201d says founder, organizer, and local beer writer Greg Nagel, @OCBeerBlog.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Beers like Mikkeller\u2019s Beer Geek Tiki Land with caramelized pineapple and toasted coconut, Barley Forge\u2019s The Patsy aged on rum-soaked oak, or even six cheeky British style real ale casks from Yorkshire Square, Macleod Ale Brewing, and Inland Wharf Brewing, the event will be a mix of modern craft beer culture, its extremes, and perfect authenticity down to what one might drink at the Great British Beer Festival in London.<\/p>\n
