Only the Best for You! Our new brew is on the shelves now! Maine’s Best IPA! Available at your favorite beer retailer or going on tap at a bar, restaurant or pubs near you!

Maine’s Best IPA is a unique blend of American hops with a British body, utilizing English 2-Row Pale malts. This IPA starts with a hoppy aroma and taste; ending with a sweet finish. Plenty of Munich and caramalts are used to give the beer that golden hue. There are fifty-six pounds of Cascade Hops used in each 50 barrel batch! Then we finish the beer with Willamette & Warrior Hops, (Warrior is a high-alpha acid variety of hops) All this leads to an IPA that is worthy to call Maine’s Best!

Presented by the Farnsworth Art Museum

Over three consecutive Wednesdays, the Farnsworth will present a special series on the interrelationship between food production/culinary history and paintings that depict food. Drawing on readings in anthropology, archaeology, material culture, social history, cookery texts and art history, Cultures of Desire will highlight some of the more unusual ways humans find and produce sustenance, and how from earliest days to the present they have created artworks that celebrate the nourishment of body and spirit.

MIT graduate and physician Keith Collins, MD, and Farnsworth Director of Education and Harvard instructor Roger Dell will lead this interdisciplinary exploration of art and food, using images from medical texts to cook books, from prehistoric cave walls to the Food Channel. The series will be divided thematically as follows:

Lecture One: The Dawn of Food

The initial lecture will trace the history of food and cooking from the Stone Age through the collapse of the Roman Empire. We will examine the extraordinary impact of food technology (hunting, cooking, and agriculture) on human evolution, how it reshaped bodies and minds. These innovations will be depicted though images by early artists on cave walls in south central France, wine bowls in Greece, and mosaic tiles across the Roman Empire.

Lecture Two: Eat, Drink and Be Merry!

This lecture will focus on the physiological, psychological and sociological aspects of food and cooking. For example, how does food stimulate the reward centers of the brain? Why do people across time and cultures socialize around meals? Artworks such as sensuous Dutch still-life paintings will be read as visual poems to national pride and prosperity, filled with glorious depictions of Dutch cheese and butter, and also with international treasures such as French wine, Baltic grain for bread, Indian pepper, and Chinese porcelains.

Lecture Three: À Votre Santé: Food and Health

This lecture will begin with an examination of the connection between food, eating and our health. The diets of long-lived cultures around the world will be explored, along with the latest thinking on how to eat for both health and pleasure in the modern world. Another aspect of this lecture will be a survey of how modern and contemporary artists use food in painting, sculpture, photography and film. The lecture and the series will conclude with an exploration of how Maine is fast becoming a leader in one component of a healthier diet: fresh, local, organic foods.

Making Whoopies is a wide-ranging, lighthearted look at whoopie pies and the folks who love them. The book contains 16 recipes including healthy, gluten-free, and zucchini whoopie pies. A traditional whoopie pie consists of two soft dark chocolate cakes, generously filled with creamy white filling. Whoopie pies could be declared the official Maine dessert, and many believe the beloved confection originated in Maine, although Pennsylvania actually has an equally strong claim to that honor. The comfort-food treats are enjoying a renaissance as bakeries offer gourmet versions, and internet sales have flourished.

Griffin is a Thomaston resident who grew up in Boston and moved to Maine 40 years ago. She is a former newspaper and wire service reporter and editor who has been a freelance writer for more than 20 years. As a longtime lover of whoopie pies, Griffin says that writing — and especially researching — Making Whoopies: the Official Whoopie Pie Book, was a sweet pleasure. Her other recent book, published in 2009, is Maine 101: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Maine and Were Going to Ask Anyway.

Griffin’s website can be found at www.makingwhoopies.net.

About Slates Restaurant & Bakery

Slates Restaurant & Bakery are located in downtown Hallowell, Maine across from the Kennebec River. Down East magazine quotes, “Water Street, Hallowell’s main thoroughfare, is lined with antique shops and bookstores. For the last twenty-five years it has also been anchored by the pleasantly off-beat restaurant known as Slates.”

Slates success is due to the owner’s passion for excellent food that is consistent and creative as well as providing outstanding service. All of the restaurant’s breads, pastas, desserts and ice creams are homemade at Slates Bakery next door. The recently expanded bakery has been applauded by regulars and is now a place that customers can sit and enjoy a cup of coffee, baked goods, lunch and amazing take home dinners.

The restaurant is open Tuesday through Friday serving lunch and dinner, Saturday for brunch and dinner and Sundays for brunch. Brunch is served on both Saturday and Sunday mornings with roughly hundreds of options including the most amazing benedicts and Bloody Mary’s!

Slates purchases their produce from local organic farmers whenever possible and base their entrees on what is fresh and available for the time of year. The bar has an impressive selection of liquor, beer, wine and creative drink specials. Slates is a great place to eat out for any occasion; an appetizer in the bar with friends, dinner in the welcoming art filled dining room or a large gathering in our private function room. If you haven’t been to Slates Restaurant or Bakery please make the visit, you won’t regret it! We hope to see you soon.

Please call the restaurant directly at 622-9575 to purchase gift certificates.
