Description

Early Maine ran on sweet and fiery New England rum. Later, rapid industrial advances and ever-present drinking opportunities made day by day life unnecessarily hazardous. Overindulgence triggered a severe backlash, a fierce temperance movement and eighty-two years of prohibition in the Pine Tree State. Whilst the coastal state never truly dried out, the Maine Law sent both serious and social drinking under the table for the better a part of a century. Liquor crafted in Maine has slowly and quietly remade itself into a respected drink, imbued with history and representing the most productive of the state’s ingenuity and self-reliance. Recent distillers around the state are concocting really local spirits Whilst creative bartenders are mixing the new and old, bringing back the art of a fine drink. Sign up for Portland food author Kate McCarty on a spirited romp through the evolution of Maine’s relationship with alcohol.
