W i n t e r g u i d e 2 0 1 8 5 3 Sazerac North Mardi Gras staple Sazerac Rye may be a New Orleans classic, but the Louisiana whiskey still travels to your glass via Lewiston. Boston Brands, an affiliate of Sazerac Co. , bottles the liquor, along with Fireball Cinnamon Whisky and Barton Vodka, at its Saratoga Street plant in “The Lew.” The company just announced a $1M expansion in 2018, according to Bangor Daily News. That’s a lot of extra Saz- erac flowing through Maine. Celebration A fitting host city for such a celebration, Belfast presents its 12th annual Maine Celtic Celebra- tion. Music, dancing, and feats of strength mark the occasion, but none compare with the remark- able cheese-rolling championship. Show up and cheer on the cheese-chasers…or the wheel of Dubliner. mainecelticcelebration.com 20-22 Yarmouth Clam Festival courtesy photo
