Cape Ann Brewing Growlers, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
“What the hell is a Growler?”
That was one of the first things Sig Hansen The Captain of The F/V Northwestern on The Deadliest Catch asked the crowd when he got on stage at The Gloucester House for The Plum Cove School Charity Event.
Well my friends, Growlers are the jugs that they fill up with your favorite Fisherman’s brew at The Cape Ann Brewing Company in Gloucester’s Fort on Commercial Street.

I don’t know what the secret is at Cape Ann Coffee, but their croissants are incredibly light, airy and delicious and full of buttery goodness. A great value at $2.75

If you look at the menu in larger version you can see what looks like real paasport stamps from around the world. StudioVO did a great job with the design.
Studio VO provided the art direction for the new menu at Passports. The creative food selections are from Eric and Jeremy.
