"The Professor" is gone but not forgotten. Best known as the owner of the world's largest private rum collection, Stephen Remsberg was a kind and generous soul. I cherished the rare rums he gave me following the presentation we did at The Hukilau 2019, sadly the last time I saw him. Here are some of my favorite photos of Stephen at @thehukilau and @the_maikai_restaurant over the years...

1 - At The Mai-Kai during The Hukilau 2013, Stephen shows off Jasper's Secret Mix during the @official_beachbumberry "Potions of the Caribbean" symposium.

2 - With a little help from Jeff "Beachbum" Berry, Stephen puts the finishing touches on the Witch Doctor cocktail during Jeff's symposium at The Mai-Kai during The Hukilau in June 2013.

3 - It was a treat to hang out with Stephen and Beachbum Berry at The Mai-Kai during The Hukilau 2013.

4 - In 2011, Stephen was part of the legendary "Rum Rat Pack," which came together for a memorable day of rum and revelry at The Mai-Kai during The Hukilau. From left: Ian Burrell, Wayne Curtis, Martin Cate, Beachbum Berry, Stephen Remsberg.

5 - Touring The Mai-Kai's rum collection with Stephen was a treat. This was his last visit to the back bar in June 2019 during The Hukilau.

6 - I was honored to have Stephen as my co-host for "The Rums of The Mai-Kai" presentation at Fort Lauderdale's Pier Sixty-Six hotel during The Hukilau 2019.

I kicked off 2023 with Stephen Remsberg’s Planter’s Punch (from @official_beachbumberry Remixed) in honor of “The Professor.” Rest in peace, my friend. I’m sure you’re already sitting at the best rum bar of all. Okole maluna! #rum #jamaicanrum #planterspunch #stephenremsberg

A great way to kick off the new year! If you’re in Houston, or anywhere nearby, don’t miss this! … Posted @withrepost • @leilowhtx NYE @ LEI LOW!!!

Tomorrow! Lei Low transforms into the Mai Kai for New Year’s Eve!!! The Mai Kai is a legendary Polynesian palace and Tiki Bar from Fort Lauderdale that still follows the style, service, and tradition of Don The Beachcomber. We’ve put together a very special menu of Mai Kai originals. We’ll have a free (!) Chinese food buffet. Stop by for an evening of fire, dance, spice, and RUM. The festivities begin at 7pm. Toast at midnight!

Happy New Year to all of our patrons old and new. It’s been a terrific year and we hope to bring you many more rum soaked good times.

Mahalo!!!!
