The Brickyard Brewing Co. was one of the vendors at the popular Lewiston Artisan Farmers Market.

Co-owner Eric Matthews said the brewery was coming up on its three year anniversary in July.

“All that hard work gone down the drain, I mean we’re going to rebuild it," he said. "We’re going to come back stronger, but we put our heart and soul into it.”

 

A  total of six fire companies were involved in fighting the fire.

WKBW-TV and Facebook posts tell of the farmers market which starts on June 6th, is holding a raffle with all proceeds benefiting the brewery.

The farmers market is selling raffle tickets for $20 each, with the chance to win a gift basket filled with gift certificates from businesses throughout the region.

You can find the event here.

The event is also prominently displayed on the Lewiston Artisan Farmers Market's Facebook page:

The Brickyard/BBC owners are huge supporters of the Lewiston community.  I watched firefighters work on Tuesday in unbelievable heat and smoke to fight the fire.  It seemed like half the village was there, some watching in astonishment, some in tears.

Many commenting on the street corners how proud they were of the work of firefighters because "they kept the entire block from going up".

I know this event will have the backing of the entire community, I will certainly be buying my tickets!
