Sorry, beer is not (nor will it ever be) Tiki. This is especially true if you subscribe to the belief that Tiki is part of space-age bachelor-pad cocktail culture. Sure you're allowed to tip back and enjoy a brewski inside the Tiki bar (I certainly have), but that's still no more Tiki than if you enjoying a Margarita or a Red Bull & Vodka.

And It doesn't matter if that beer is a finely crafted microbrew, a PBR, or a brand that screams "Hawaii".

Primo beer... NOT TIKI !!

:D
