Beer is good.  I bought my first growler yesterday.  The heffeweisen.  By the time you read this hopefully I should have enjoyed a couple of pints.

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.

I was blown away yesterday when I went to a meeting and had absolutely no idea that the The Manor Inn Steakhouse had this view. How many times have I driven past and never knew that this view existed?

It’s spectacular and the food they served us was out of this world. If it wasn’t for the meeting I would have snapped a few pics of the food for you but there are some places I just don’t whip the camera out.

As always click the picture and then select “all sizes” to see it blown up.

With a large deck off the back, this is the perfect place for a good sized event with its open vistas across the river and gentle breezes.

Classy with a gazebo for on site weddings.

I still can’t believe I never knew this existed but I sure as hell do now. It’s a view I won’t soon forget.

“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
