Lucky Pigeon Brewing Company in Biddeford is Maine’s first dedicated gluten-free brewery, and only the second in New England. Their brewing process utilizes oats, rice, millet, and buckwheat to ensure Lucky Pigeon beer is 100-percent gluten free. “Brewing isn’t easy, and making a great beer is hard,” says head brewer Scott Nebel, “but when I came here, brewing with barley suddenly seemed easy.” Nebel wants to continue to push the bounds of gluten-free beer in Lucky Pigeon’s oeuvre, and is currently working on an American stout and a Belgian ale.

Today we’re remembering illustrator, painter, and children’s book author Ashley Bryan, who used his art to bring attention to the African American experience. In our 2017 profile on the artist, Bryan told us about growing up in the Great Depression, fighting in WWII, and overcoming obstacles to become an internationally acclaimed professor and children’s book author. Originally from Harlem, Bryan considered Little Cranberry Island home for much of his life and established himself as a pillar of the community. Bryan died Friday at age 98.
