{"product_id":"distilled-in-maine-kate-mccarty-9781626197756","title":"Distilled in Maine:: A History of Libations, Temperance \u0026 Craft Spirits","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate McCarty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 162619775X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626197756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Kate McCarty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987962986751,"sku":"9781626197756","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59643158-6046-4001-bc3f-fd5c328c4116.jpg?v=1683291850","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/distilled-in-maine-kate-mccarty-9781626197756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
