Cat addicts with a fondness for craft beer will certainly appreciate this curated collection celebrating two of life’s greatest pleasures! Much like sailor cats, brewery cats have played a significant role in supporting beer brewers.
Historically, cats have been valued on farms and in breweries for their natural pest control abilities, helping to safeguard grains and supplies essential for brewing. Over the centuries, these feline helpers have become part of brewing traditions, symbolizing good luck and contributing to the culture and folklore surrounding beer-making. Cats have thus become a charming and enduring part of brewing history.
In honor of the legendary brewery cats, grab a cold one, sit back, and feast your eyes on these feisty felines paired with craft beers from around the globe.
