(it would be a similar process to making Pumpkin Ale) A brewery in Reno named Great Basin (owned by a palentologist) makes a wonderful beer in Autumn using local flora. It's not my favorite beer, but it's well made, very interesting and fun. What spices specifically come from the south pacific which might be considered for a Tiki Beer? Also in West Africa, Palm Wine is popular...Not sure what kind of plams it's made from, but at the top of adult trees there is a small reservior of sweet slightly alcoholic juice which might also be a thought for something wild and Tiki.
