SUMMARY:Summer Storytelling Series: Bunker Brewing
DESCRIPTION:The Maine Irish Heritage Center is bringing the cherished Irish tradition of storytelling back to Maine this summer!\n\nIn days gone by neighbors would gather at night in the local ceili house\, the home of a storyteller. They came for conversation\, and to hear stories of their community\, its history\, old tales handed down by the ancestors\, some music. These gatherings helped build community and preserve the culture and values of the Irish people.\n\nWe invite you to join us this summer at one of our storytelling events! Bring a story\, a poem\, a song\, or simply come to listen and enjoy an evening among friends—or friends-in-the-making.\n\nBut wait\, “Does my story/poem/song have to be Irish?” Absolutely not!  These events are celebrations of the oral tradition of every culture\, and we would love to hear anything you want to tell!\n\nEvent Details:\n\nLocation: Bunker Brewing\, Portland\, Maine\nTime: 6:30pm-7:30pm\nHost: Cathy Furness\nStory Guidelines:\n\nStories\, songs\, or poems should be 10 minutes or less\nA timekeeper will help us keep things moving\nNo hate speech – creative freedom is welcome\, but kindness and inclusivity are essential\n\n\nAll are welcome – come to share or simply to listen\n\nStorytelling is central to Irish culture—as it is to so many cultures around the world. These outdoor events are part of MIHC’s mission to share this tradition across Maine while also supporting local businesses and gathering spaces. Let’s build community together\, one story at a time.\n\n\nAbout Bunker: \nBunker Brewing Co. is a small Lager-focused brewery fostering community and independent\, local beer in Portland\, ME since 2012.

The garage where co-founders Ian\, Neil\, and Mike homebrewed was here in Freeport\, and though we first laid roots in Westbrook\, the hope was always to return at some point. In 2021\, that dream came to fruition as we opened our 2nd taproom at Freeport Crossing. With an expansive bar and seating area\, a spacious patio\, private event space\, and a pilot brewing facility\, Mast Landing Freeport truly is a landmark in our brewery’s journey.
