November 09, 2011 | 12:15 PM Tit for Tatt at Tiki: Thursday, Nov. 10 is time for the tattooed to come out of the woodworks and into the South Shore Tiki Lounge for an ink appreciation affair. In an incredible pairing of skin art and sippables, the Maui Brewing Company is taking over the taps to feature a spread of their luscious seasonal ales for just 3 bucks all day, for tattooed and non-tattooed alike. Some of these beers have never before been available in Kihei. Two-time MauiTime Best of Maui Bartendress winner Sarah Stern will be hosting and hopefully showing off her gorgeous tattoos at this skindig that starts at 8pm. Sarah's own pizza creation of Tiki's house made red sauce topped with hawaiian sausage, basil, tomato, goat cheese, mozzarella and white truffle oil will be on special: A large pie will be $20 and you can get the personal size pie for $10. Maui Brewing Company Beers: Pau Hana Pilsner, La Perouse, Kula Pumpkin Harvest, Amber Reign, Pueo Pale Ale, Wild Hog Stout. At 10pm DJ Slackin' will shake things up with old school fun tracks. No cover all night but it's 21 and older from 10-closing.
