If you are headed up Camden way soon, check out Dickie Steels’ BBQ, a pop-up (for now) located in the former Drouthy Bear spot at 50 Elm St. The Scottish pub closed last spring, and Derek Richard and Gabriela Acero bought the building to open their own restaurant, a chophouse to be called wolfpeach. The couple hopes to open wolfpeach in November, but until then they are cooking Texas-inspired BBQ takeout from noon to 7 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Passive house construction that super-tight energy efficient design invented by the Germans has gone from a niche concept to a mainstream one in the 10 years since the first passive house building went up in Maine.
Passive house design is like organic food, said Amy Hinkely, of the University of Maine architecture program and moderator of an Earth Day panel that discussed the status of he panel moderator. It was once hippy, but now it s mainstream. I didn t exepct to see the development and scale of passive house that s occurred over the past 10 to 12 years, said Matt O Malia, of OPAL and GO Logic, of Belfast, which designed Maine s first passive house building, a small dorm on the Unity College Campus. Initially, it was a very fringey thing.
CAMDEN Many wondered what would become of the classic Scottish pub Drouthy Bear after owners Andrew and Shannon Stewart announced last May that the COVID-19 virus restrictions on their beloved pub had forced them to permanently close.
The Midcoast community will be happy to know that the building has been purchased and is currently being renovated by Camden newcomers Gabriela Acero and Derek Richard to become a new restaurant. With a new aesthetic and flair, the restaurant will be called wolfpeach the name in lower case which comes from
Lycopersicum, the scientific name for ‘tomato’.
“It has all come together rather quickly,” said Acero.
