Things To Do- Cape Ann Brewing Hearing -Aug 12th

The good folks at Cape Ann Brewing will be going for a pouring license Tuesday night August 12th.

From their website-

“NOTICE: A hearing will be held August 12th at 6:30 in the Friends Room of the Sawyer Free Library by the licensing Board to consider our request for a pouring license.  We would appreciate any support we can get.”

On the docket the same night is for the ability of the restaurants to serve alchohol outside along with their dining the night of the Block Party.

I feel both are worthy causes to come out and support.  I’ll be there in support, I hope you will too.

Here are some of the tanks used to brew at The Cape Ann Brewing Company. I was astounded when Mike Beaton told me how much they invested in the place.

It’s a whole lotta dough. About three times what I would have guessed.
