Named for an insulting phrase that Portland Mayor Neal Dow, the Father of Prohibition, used to describe Brunswick's legislative delegation. Neal Dow was giving a "lecture" at Bowdoin College where he proceeded to not only insult the college but described the entire town as a bacchanalian backwater. The label (and Facebook banner) is a picture of an editorial from the Brunswick Telegraph, published on May 1st, 1885, where the editorial board called out Dow and defended their town. To learn more ask at the bar or better yet go to the Pejepscot Historical Society to see the actual paper. Photo used with permission from the Pejepscot Historical Society.
