PIG & HENHandmade in Amsterdam with authentic ship rope and meant

to survive a lifetime. Not just because of their quality, but also

from their heritage. In the early 1600’s Dutch sailors would

tattoo a pig and hen on their feet to protect them against bad

luck. Believed to give them the ability to survive if they had to

abandon ship. And who couldn’t use a lifetime of extra luck?

The owners of three craft breweries in South Dennis, Orleans, and Mashpee, aim to turn our peninsula into

a destination for beer lovers—everywhere.

BY LISA CAVANAUGH • PHOTOGRAPHY BY JULIA CUMES

Devil’s Purse in Dennis and Hog Island in Orleans, far right, are part of the growing craft beer movement on Cape Cod.

14] P U R I T A N C A P E C O D M A G A Z I N EThis story originally ran in Cape Cod Magazine’s January/Feburary 2017 issue.

FALL INTO SOCAL STYLE

Before they opened Devil’s Purse in 2015, Matt Belson,

above left, and Mike Segerson traveled to breweries in New

England, across the country and even Germany. They spoke with brewers, met with suppliers and

attended trade shows to fill in the knowledge gaps.

A pint of Moonsnail. A growler of Skatemouth. A bottle of Light-house Blonde. Creativity in the craft beer world is flourishing here on Cape Cod. From Orleans to Mashpee and across Nan-tucket Sound, brewing entrepreneurs are building a dynamic cluster of small businesses they hope will make Cape Cod a true destination for craft beer lovers.

Devil’s Purse Brewing Company, South Dennis

When Matt Belson and Mike Segerson decided it was time to elevate their home brewing hobby from the basement into a real facility, they knew they had much to consider. “A lot of elements had to come into play,” says Belson, which included a business plan, funding, the right zoning and available commercial prop-erty.” They settled on a building on Great Western Road in South Dennis, a town which proved very agreeable to work with.

The pair spent a lot of time traveling to breweries in New Eng-land, across the country and even Germany. They spoke with brewers, met with suppliers and went to trade shows trying to fill in knowledge gaps. The pair realized that “making the beer is just a small part of running a brewing business,” says Belson, who describes their beer as European-inspired.

The Brooklyn native was working as a newspaper reporter and editor when he was introduced to Segerson, a fellow Harwich resident, by their wives. Although Segerson grew up in Connecti-

cut, it was a childhood Cape Cod memory that inspired their new endeavor’s intriguing name. He recalled finding skate egg sacs on the beach and his mother telling him they were called “devil’s purses.” The two decided to continue that sea theme for their brand. The logo is encased in a shield issued to U.S. Coast Guardsmen. Their beer styles also have mariner-inspired names: Handline Kolsch, Cuddy Queen American Pale Ale and a tester line called Sea Trials.

Since they opened their doors over Memorial Day weekend of 2015, the response has been over-whelmingly positive. In addition to operating the on-site tasting room, they also have their beers on tap in local restaurants and bars. Customers can purchase containers known as growlers, howl-ers and crowlers at Devil’s Purse headquarters, and Skywave, a limited-edition bottled provisional saison brew, can also be found in stores.

Belson says they are humbled by the community support and encouraged by the incredible demand for their beer. He credits both their high-quality ingredients, including good local water (“You can’t make beer without water and Cape Cod has some great water for making beer.”) and the accessibility of the styles they create. “I like to say we offer something for everyone and all of our beers are approachable.”

Belson stresses that their business is part of an important movement to build small manufactur-ing on Cape Cod, and the atmosphere at Devil’s Purse is lively. They’ve hosted brew runs, festivals and parties, and welcomed locals and visitors to taste year-round. Belson says that it’s a great crew of people. They are all really good friends of the brewery, he adds.

Hog Island Beer Company, Orleans

In June 2016, the new owners of Jailhouse Tavern in Orleans unveiled their own brew pub, Hog Island Beer Company. “We’ve created a place where everyone can celebrate together,” says Mike McNamara, one of Hog Island’s partners. “We have a large lawn out back with picnic tables and games, so you’ll see kids running around having a good time, while their parents enjoy great food and brew. It makes for a really nice afternoon or evening.”

McNamara and co-owner Mark Powers had both summered on Cape Cod and their head brewer John Kanaga grew up here. So even after an extensive career marketing wine, beer and spirits for national companies, McNamara knew that the brewery he and Powers had been envi-sioning for years should be located on the Cape.

After buying the Jailhouse House Tavern three years ago (and dropping the word “Old” from its name) the partners first wanted to elevate the food and reinvigorate the team morale. They intended to eventually open a brewery elsewhere, but once they had spent two years rebuilding, pulling up carpets and installing a gas fireplace at the tavern, they realized its underutilized ban-quet room would fit the bill. They designed the space in “Cape Cod chic” with reclaimed wood, beadboard and onion lamps and brought in a 15-barrel brew system.

Hog Island is a small uninhabited island in Little Pleasant Bay, owned by a family trust which allows people to explore and camp there as long as you treat it respectfully. McNamara and Pow-ers thought the name could tie their beer to their locality and they’ve had fun with the nautical branding. They put an anchor in the logo and created a tag line of “The Outermost Brewery on Cape Cod,” an homage to the notable Henry Beston’s Cape Cod memoir.

“Mark and I went on an extensive road trip to figure out what we wanted for styles and flavors,” says McNamara. “We found that there were pretty darn good beers coming out of Massachusetts. We went all over the world, but some of the best ones are brewed right here.”

They have a “core four” of styles: Great White Wheat, two pale ales and the coffee-chocolate tinged Far Out Stout. Other offer-ings include the popular Money Head Irish Red that uses real Irish moss. They try to source local ingredients as much as possible, and the Hog Island credo is “built by locals, brewed by locals, drank by locals.”

They are happy to bounce ideas off other local brewers and feel the influx of new craft beers to Cape Cod is a good thing for every-one. “If the Cape could be known as a craft destination, that would be awesome,” McNamara says. They are getting great reviews for their beer and the reception to their brewery has been fantastic. They say the best part of the business is watching people enjoy their product. “It is just such a cool thing for everyone to come together,” says McNamara. “People are pumped for what’s new.”

Mike McNamara, left, and Mark Powers bought Jailhouse Tavern in Orleans three years ago and started Hog Island Beer Company last June. They intended to eventually open a brewery elsewhere, but once they had spent two years rebuilding the tavern, they realized its underutilized banquet room would fit the bill. “If the Cape could be known as a craft destination, that would be awesome,” says McNamara.

STATEMENT KNITS After last fall’s Fair Isle knit sweater obsession, designers have moved on to graphic, cheeky, colorful, and fun chunky knits. One of this season’s hottest trends mixes comfort with elegance for a weather-appropriate winter look: think oversized pieces with scarf-like necklines.

FEELING BLUE“Nebulas Blue” they are calling it at Pantone. The shade’s popularity may stem from the public’s curiosity about all things Arctic this season. Reminiscent of a twilight blue and not as deep as a navy blue, and with more brightness, this shade shows that women have a love affair with blue that never seems to go away. Rich navy, royal, and even pastel blue take center stage, as well.

LOVIN’ LEATHER The most dominant of all fabrics (along with tweed) this season is leather, which comes by way of skirts, trousers, and trench coats. It doesn’t have to be black, either. Brown, green, and butterscotch-colored leathers can be found in many collections. A midi black leather skirt will serve you well this fall/winter and pairs well with flowy velvets, chunky knits, turtlenecks, blazers, and overcoats. Another throwback to the ’70s and ’80s scene!


Creating Opportunity for individuals with disabilities is the touchstone

that drives Cape Abilities’ life-changing services and supports every day.

For 50 years, we have provided enriching, high quality services,

coupled with diverse community opportunities, that empower our

participants to achieve meaningful and valued roles in society.

Founded in 1968 as Nauset, Inc. in Orleans, Cape Abilities has a

long and distinguished history of providing services and supports to

individuals with disabilities by educating, counseling, and providing

residential, social, therapeutic, and employment opportunities.

We currently serve more than 420 individuals with developmental

and intellectual disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder, cerebral

palsy, blindness, Down syndrome, accidental or acquired brain injury,

hearing impairment, mobility limitations, seizure disorder, and mental

health issues.

Cape Abilities is led by President and Executive Director Larry Thayer

and governed by an 11-member Board of Directors with exceptional

and diverse backgrounds, who are deeply invested in the Cape Cod

community and the issues of individuals with disabilities.

As a large nonprofit human services organization, we have a

responsibility to give back and enrich the local community, and we

are so proud that the individuals we serve also share this mission and

are valuable contributors to and volunteers for other non-profits, are

respected and reliable employees of local businesses, and are actively

engaged members of their local neighborhoods.

Cape Abilities is honored to serve individuals with disabilities and

their families on Cape Cod. We are determined to remain their valued,

influential advocate within the Cape Cod community, as we continue to

ensure that they are not just in the community, but that they are vital

members of their community.

And we are so fortunate that, in return for our efforts, we receive an

outpouring of genuine support from so many who recognize the gifts,

talents and capacities of these incredible people.

Your overwhelming, ongoing support and involvement in all facets

of our work expands our options and ensures our success. As we look

forward to celebrating the next 50 years of service to this unique group

of Cape Cod residents, we are sincerely grateful for your involvement in

our mission and look forward to your continued partnership.

Together, we are creating opportunities and growing futures!

working on creating state of the art program sites that reflect

best practice, and we maintain comfortable and accessible

residences for individuals, so they can be active neighbors and

and success. At Cape Abilities, we create life-changing employment and volunteer opportunities

for individuals through an array of educational and real-world experiences that help our participants

maximize their potential, so they can be vital, contributing members of their communities, and can

literally, change their own lives!

We seek to create or promote relationships with various local civic, social, business and educational

groups to maximize opportunities for individuals with disabilities to be involved as valued members

of the community.

In this past year alone, over 60 volunteer community initiatives were created in which people with

disabilities gave back to others in need and more than 150 jobs were filled at 85 different community

businesses that changed ordinary lives into extraordinary lives!

“Cape Abilities workers and volunteers do such an incredible job performing many tasks and filling important positions that are critical to many businesses across Cape Cod. They have done such a great job assisting the CCRTA and we encourage businesses to put these talented individuals to work.”

— Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority Administrator Tom Cahir

Our community partnerships create life-changing moments

for the people we serve every day. Just look at what the

extraordinary kindness of our long-time community partner,

Puritan Cape Cod, did for Cape Abilities participant Richard

Maxim (right). He was fitted with handpicked formal wear by

Puritan tailors, so he and Cape Abilities President and Executive

Director Larry Thayer (left) could look their Cape Cod finest

while attending the Presidential Inauguration in 2012!

And thanks to the never-ending passion and genuine desire to

help from so many, our Volunteer program is active and thriving.

It plays a vital role in the success of our mission, and we hope you

will consider joining this very special community, no matter how

much time you can give. There are unlimited opportunities to

make a difference when you volunteer at Cape Abilities.

We are extremely grateful to the many organizations, businesses

and volunteers who currently partner with us to offer a range of

community opportunities for our participants.

And we hope you will consider joining with Cape Abilities to

create and provide employment and volunteer opportunities for

individuals with disabilities throughout our community.

Together, we heighten public awareness of our mission and

ensure that people with disabilities are active members of every

Cape community. TOGETHER, we can create meaningful

opportunities that build skills, enhance community connections,

and change the lives for hundreds of individuals with disabilities!

Thank You!

technically speaking

PADDED JACKETSComfortwear is the style obsession — dramatic new plays on proportion with exaggerated volume and oversized shapes. If you don’t have one, get the new padded jacket, combining fashion craftsmanship with high-tech fabrics and flirting with new approaches to padding to create hybrid forms perfect for layering with sweaters. Finish with a scarf!

TECHNICALthings are getting rather

Take the current designer obsession with sportswear, add the growing interest in fashionable circles for Canda Goose-style technicwear, and you get a wardrobe that has come straight off the mountain. You heard us right. What was once relegated to the ski slope and climbing Mount Everest is not just mainstream fashion, it is downright swanky and uptown. Technicality, function, and style have collided head-to-toe. Think of it as protectionism from winter’s fury...or the second coming of the Cold War. Add a dash of hiking boots and a few layers of quilted vests and turtlenecks and you’re ready to combat the elements.

The technical outerwear trend shows no sign of abating — whether it’s oversized puffer jackets or an ultra-long down-filled jacket — right now if it ain’t nylon, it ain’t happening. We’re seeing hybrid pieces that marry style and technology for true, modern luxury. Technical jackets with hoods and pants with plenty of pockets in advanced technical fabrics that keep out moisture and the cold. And lots and lots of zippers, velcro, and snaps! There is a pocket for all your gadgets–some in plain sight, others hidden away.

Vintage checks have been trending heavily for women since last year. For autumn ’18, they are now appearing on everything from men’s trousers to jackets and even caps. Men are stealing from women...again. Old news in the world of fashion. Try starting out with one statement checked garment, such as a coat or blazer. Feeling bold? Double down with a blazer and trouser in contrasting checks.

CHAMONIX

The small resort town of Chamonix is located at the foot of Mont

Blanc and attracts many visitors every year. There’s good reason for

this, as it’s one of the most beautiful towns in all of Europe. Although

winter is the peak season for visitors, a trip here any time of the year is

sure to leave an impression.

Once you’ve strolled through the town and taken in the incredible

atmosphere, get yourself ready to do some hiking. This area of France

contains some of the best trails in the Alps, with views of Mont Blanc that

will leave you speechless. If hiking isn’t your thing, enjoy sampling unique

French food in any of the tremendous restaurants dotting this town.

the most incredible small towns

France within Normandy, Honfleur

is fast becoming one of the most

popular little towns for tourists to

visit. It began as a trading town and

over the past century has attracted

many famous painters inspired by

the unique style and architecture.

As a result, this town is filled

with many incredible museums

that both locals and tourists

adore. Many famous paintings are

on display here, and it’s easy to

spend an entire day checking out

the amazing artwork.

More recently, the town of

Honfleur has grown to become a

popular destination spot among

France’s elite, and it’s common to

see large yachts lining the town’s

many docks. Tourism has certainly

increased here as of late, and many

accommodation options are now

available, catering to a wide range

of different budgets. Honfleur is an

incredible city and is well worth a

visit for anyone in France.

GRASSE

Slightly north of the popular tourist city of Cannes sits Grasse, a majestic

little town known as the capital of perfume. It sits on top of a hill and has some

of the most unique architecture in France with its small, winding streets. While

most visitors come here to explore the many perfume factories spread around

town, others visit simply to see one of southern France’s most charming areas

not yet overrun with tourism.

Outside of sampling some of the world’s best perfumes, there are some

incredible outdoor activities available. The surrounding hills make for great

hiking areas, and horse riding has recently become popular here. Grasse’s cuisine

selection is excellent, including a Michelin-starred restaurant serving traditional

French food. This town needs to be seen in person in order to be appreciated.



GORDES

Gordes, located in south-eastern France, shares

many similarities to Grasse. It’s also located on top of

a hill and attracts tourists to see its unique, winding

cobblestone streets. Unfortunately, this little town

attracts considerably more visitors than Grasse, but

tourism still pales in comparison to some of France’s

bigger cities.

Some of the most popular attractions in this

area are the beautiful lavender fields just outside

the city. Gordes also features a 12th-century

church that is guaranteed to leave you speechless.

In recent years, some of France’s most famous

celebrities have moved to Gordes, which is a clear

indication that this incredible town truly needs to

be experienced in person.

ANNECY

Experienced travelers may be

familiar with the town of Annecy. It sits

near the eastern border of the country

and is perhaps the most beautiful, truly

majestic place in all of France. Forget

any special attractions here; the entire

city is one piece of art.

Small canals cut through the city,

giving it somewhat of an Amsterdam

feel. The buildings are painted in a

wide range of different colors, and top-

quality restaurants and cafes can be

found on almost every street. There’s

a reason this city draws in tourists from

all around the world, and it may very

well be the most awe-inspiring town in

all of Europe.

France is filled with many incredible

little towns. Take some time to escape

the big cities like Paris and Lyon and

explore these places. They’re sure to

leave an impression.

EILEEN FISHER uses the most sustainable fibers they can find. They plan to have all their cottons and linens organic by 2020. Plus they’re taking a new look at polyester. If it’s recycled, they’re in. Since 2009, they’ve been working with bluesign® technologies to shift their global dyehouses toward responsible chemical, water, and energy usage. Eileen Fisher is working to create demand for responsible dyes and make it an industry norm. The brand is also working with less — leaving less fabric waste on the cutting room floor, using less water, and emitting less carbon. By investing in alternative energy, their US operations by 2020 won’t just be carbon neutral, they’ll be carbon positive. Where their denim ends up is important to Eileen Fisher. When you’re done with their jeans, they take them back to resell. By 2020 they expect their recycling total to hit one million. Imagine a future in which waste is a thing of the past.

Cropped jeans have been a strong trend, but have no fear — it is not over yet. They do a great job of showing

some ankle and accommodating a variety of shoes: sneakers, ballet flats, sandals, platforms, even stilettos.

However, high-rise, non-stretch, vintage-inspired mom jeans are everywhere right now as well, from high

fashion to high street. They are timeless, flattering, and downright democratic; all women can find

a perfect pair with a perfect fit.

Women are also craving relaxed, full-length jeans in straight or gently flared silhouettes this fall. Some

actually require a heel. The look is groovy, anda little ’90s, and they are getting quite elegeant.

It’s worth pointing out that, unlike rigid, curve-hugging mom jeans, these aren’t

meant to be skintight. Many brands have included a touch of stretch, and some sit

lower on your waist, too. Chic and comfortable — what more can you ask for?

VELVETLUXE


Designers are so enamoured with its luxurious texture, that velvet is flying high for a third fall in a row. As rich and luxe as the velvet fabric itself, so were the colors sashaying down the New York Fashion Week runways. Ditch the basic black and opt in for deep emerald greens, oceanic blues, golden yellows, and luxurious shades of rust, wine, and dark reds. Velvet has once again been revived because last winter’s penchant for the lush fabric was not enough for the sartorial powers that be. This is the trend every serious style aficionado should be backing for winter.



b y R I C K P E R R Ydropout millionaires

In general, high school dropouts face huge disadvantages

in today’s society. Statistically, they earn less and have much

higher unemployment rates. But occasionally someone beats

the odds and succeeds beyond all expectations. Even ignoring

the athletes and entertainers who achieved success despite

their lack of a high school diploma, you can find some truly

brilliant individuals who worked hard and made fortunes.

of formal education. Despite this, he went on to become one of the

country’s most famous inventors and businessmen. At the time of

his death, Edison owned over a thousand patents and left an estate

worth approximately $12 million.

WALT DISNEY (1901-1966)

A familiar figure, Disney dropped out of school at sixteen,

but went on to create Mickey Mouse and the Magic Kingdom,

leaving behind a legacy worth billions. The winner of 22

Academy Awards, as well, Disney was a rare combination of

creative genius and astute businessman.

DAVE THOMAS (1932-2002)

A high school dropout

who later completed a GED,

Thomas founded Wendy’s, a

fast food chain, and promoted

the restaurant by starring in

over 800 TV commercials.

school science teacher, Karp became a dropout at fifteen. While being

#JVFALLSTYLE | JACKVICTOR.COM

This past summer the lifestyle brand best known for its whimsical

neckties and smiling pink whale logo celebrated its 20th anniversary.

Founded in 1998, vineyard vines was born right on Martha’s Vineyard

when brothers and co-founders, Shep and Ian Murray, cut their ties with

their corporate jobs to start making ties and pursue their own version

of the American Dream. Ties in hand, the brothers spent the last two

decades growing the brand to a variety of clothing and accessories for

men, women, and kids, all inspired by the founding belief that “Every Day

Should Feel This Good”.

The brand made its first appearance at Puritan Cape Cod back in 1999.

“Vineyard Vines had such confidence in their product, they had such a

clear vision of this lifestyle. It was magnetic. Something you felt like you

had to be a part of. And they only had a handful of items at the time,” said

Bob Harrison, buyer at Puritan Cape Cod.

In signature vineyard vines style, the brand is staying true to its roots

and honoring the anniversary with their limited-edition Heritage Original Patchwork Collection. Vineyard Vines went in to the archives and chose select

vintage prints from the brand’s first years to bring back in honor of the anniversary, like Bluefish, Martha’s Vineyard Signs, Lighthouses and Palm Trees, and

each pattern represents a part of the vineyard vines story.

“We took a leap of faith 20 years ago when we started selling our ties on Martha’s

Vineyard and strived to create a lifestyle brand that reflected the things that we love

and the life that we wanted to live,” said Shep Murray, vineyard vines CEO & co-

founder. “Two decades in, with the help of our amazing family and friends, we’ve

built a brand that we are humbled and very proud of and continues to make Every

Day Should Feel This Good — for both us and our customers. While some things

have changed, we’re still the same at our core and are having a ton of fun while

sharing the gift of the Good Life with everyone we can.”

Rick and Jim Penn, co-owners of Puritan Cape Cod remember the brand from

the beginning. “It started as a small rowboat in our store with shelves of ties, knits,

and totes. Today we have our own 2,500 sq. ft. store in Mashpee Commons and an

expansive selection in our Puritan stores. We’re thrilled to be part of the amazing

success, and proud of the many relationships we’ve made with the vineyard vines

team over the last 20 years. From the very beginning, we knew that Shep & Ian

Murray shared our vision of creating an exciting shopping experience for our

customers, and our commitment to our community”.
