I had the good pleasure to meet Beachbum Berry at Hukilau<\/a>. Heard his discussion on drinks and drink making. Talked drinks with him and even talked drinks at the Mai Kai<\/a>. I also found out he was relocating just over the mountain from here in Asheville, NC.\u00c2\u00a0 I was pleased to learn he knew of my efforts with the Grogalizer<\/a>, and now I am very pleased that he has added the handy online tool to his website<\/a>. I hear I get some sort of mention in his new book. I can’t wait to get my copy from him at Hukilau<\/a> this year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
