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".

Don’t be too quick to discount Primo Beer, I’ve been tempted several times to start a “Show us your Primo Beer collectibles” tread. This brew has been around forever and during the heyday of Poly pop Primo embraced the culture with some fine examples of “Primo Tiki” memorabilia that would be welcome in most tiki bars such as these

and let’s not forget the $8888.88 map of the Hawaiian chain that I would put up next to an August Holland print in a second. I hope he relists it.
