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.

To the parents of the Finnish Exchange students-
Your children are in good hands. I’m sure my sister is feeding them well as she is an incredible cook. She learned from my mom and Grandmother Felicia who was the best cook ever.
Here they are down at the dock. You should be very proud of them because they were very well mannered and presented themselves as great ambassadors for Finland and your family. They’re both aces in my book.

Finnish Exchange Student Gets Unique Lobster Experience
My sister Felicia has been hosting a couple of talented Finnish tennis players. Yesterday when the lobster molting went down at the dock, they happened to stop by. They initially stopped by so I could take some pictures for their parents who read the blog in Finland to see where their kids are and what they are up to.
They were treated to a pretty cool experience with the lobster molting as I bet 99.99 percent of our own local kids have never experience a lobster molting before their eyes. Hell, I hardly ever see it and I’ve handled quite a few over the years.

“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.

Lobster Pulls Tail Out Of It’s Shell During Molting Process
We had a lobster molt at the dock this morning. It’s somewhat rare so I documented it for you to see the process. Video will be coming tomorrow morning.

Lobster Molting At The Dock Image 1
Notice the shell separate in a straight line at the top of the carapace. You can’t see it in this picture but the tail has already withdrawn from the shell. The live lobster is to the top in the picture and the half of it carapace shell is left at the bottom of the picture. The lobster is barely strong enough to move.
More pics to come and video is loading.

Lobster Molting Captured for Video Here at The Dock
It’s rare that a lobster will be landed, sit in our tanks over night and then in the morning go into the molting process.
It happened this morning and I captured it in pictures and video. It will take a bit to upload but look for it later.
