They inspire children to discover the world and they reopen more than one Victorian-era cabinet of curiosities.

Book Synopsis Distilled in Maine by : Kate McCarty

Download or read book Distilled in Maine written by Kate McCarty and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Maine ran on sweet and fiery New England rum. Later, rapid industrial advances and ever-present drinking opportunities made daily life unnecessarily hazardous. Overindulgence triggered a severe backlash, a fierce temperance movement and eighty-two years of prohibition in the Pine Tree State. While the coastal state never really dried out, the Maine Law sent both serious and social drinking under the table for the better part of a century. Liquor crafted in Maine has slowly and quietly remade itself into a respected drink, imbued with history and representing the best of the state's ingenuity and self-reliance. Contemporary distillers across the state are concocting truly local spirits while creative bartenders are mixing the new and old, bringing back the art of a fine drink. Join Portland food writer Kate McCarty on a spirited romp through the evolution of Maine's relationship with alcohol.
