The Maine Irish Heritage Center held the 3rd Annual “Best of All Things Irish in Maine” awards on November 19th. As our major fundraiser for 2022, all proceeds support programming like this, operating expenses and building projects in support of our mission to keep the Irish arts and rich culture flourishing in Maine.
In addition to celebrating 2022’s winning bands, singers, and performers, we added a new competition – “The Best Irish Beers of Maine.” The winners were Footbridge Brewery’s “Danny Boy” for Best Irish Stout and Nonesuch River Brewing’s “Red” as Best Irish Red. We were treated as well to the Best New Irish Brew from Baxter Brewing – “Jordyn’s Red”. The finalists are Allagash Brewing, Bateau Brewing, Definitive Brewing, Footbridge Brewery, Gritty McDuff’s, Mason’s Brewing Company, Nonesuch River Brewing, and Tumbledown Brewing.
