Show 213, March 4, 2017: Greg Nagel, Founder, FirkFest Caskaway

Greg NagelThe 4th Annual FirkFest is back at the Anaheim Packing District on Saturday, March 11th and this year it’s a Tiki theme. It’s unlimited tastes from 50 casks. Talk about wild & unrestrained. It’s beers, food and all-Tiki-themed décor.

“Looking 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’s time for the area’s craft brewers to come together, throw on some grass skirts, and make something truly unique,” says founder, organizer, and local beer writer Greg Nagel, @OCBeerBlog.

Food vendors include Tiki-style slider restaurant Hatch and the Iron Press bringing pulled-pork fries and sliders, Adya: Fresh Indian Flavors is bringing tropical Kebab and nacho-like pineapple chaat, and Salt & Ash from P-town is coming up with a pork Musubi-like dish (tbd).

FirkFert is offering a generous $10 off the regular admission price of $55.00 to “SoCal Restaurant Show” listeners. The Discount Code to enter on the Ticket Buying Page is : SoCalRestaurantShow. Cheers…

Founder Greg Nagel taps the keg for us on this year’s event to benefit the Orange County Brewer’s Guild.
