Been there many times. Yes good folks, and a great place to get back to in the summer if you can! Their deck overlooks some of the fishing docks, plus you can check out their hops growing up the side of the place. I've known the head brewer Dylan for a while and he's a cool guy.
Edit: Gloucester is a small fishing city on Cape Ann (duh) on the North Shore of MA whose claims to fame these days seem to be the Gorton's Fisherman, that iconic statue of the fishing captain, and the movie Perfect Storm.
