I’m really excited to share I’ll be heading down to Long Beach for the Rum Curious Summit on Memorial Day. The event is a “rum fest” with over 20 rum brands plus cocktails, where attendees can experience and learn about over 80 different expressions. This is a medium sized event where you’ll have plenty of opportunity to learn about rum and learn from the various rum producers and brands.
I’m very interested to attend the educational seminars from luminaries including Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails author Shannon Mustipher, Doc Parks of Zombie Village fame, and self-proclaimed Rum Champion Bryan Inman who is also organizing the event. I’ve tried a lot of rums over the past few years but I always learn something new when experts such as these are providing context to the material. I’ve attended several seminars from Mustipher and Inman and they do a great job presenting material that’s interesting to both novices and experienced spirits consumers. While I haven’t attended any seminars from Doc Parks, I’ve seen his magic from across the bar so I have high expectations. #docparksismyhomeboy
The Rum Curious Summit will be held in downtown Long Beach at Altar Society Brewing, across the street from Secret Tiki Island, and ought to be a lot of fun. Tickets are available now, but don’t delay in securing your spot as there is a limited availability. We’ll see you in Long Beach on Memorial Day.
