I first saw this brewery pop up on my Instagram page earlier last year and immediately wondered where it was located. It turned out to be five hours away, so I thought, "One day, if we are in the area, we'll visit." Well, that day came sooner than expected.
If you follow me, you know that I love making wine with cat-themed labels inspired by my cats. This brewery takes the cat theme to the next level. Everything is cat-themed, from the plates to the entire vibe. Cat videos play on screens, and cat decorations are everywhere. Even the cocktail menu is cleverly named "Wine and Cat-tails." They serve hushpuppies on the starter menu, but I'd suggest calling them "hushkittens" instead, lol. The drink names are playful and fun, ranging from the Grumpy Cat (a jalapeño, blood orange whiskey sour) to the Giddy Kitty (a raspberry, lime, mint gin martini), and other creative names like Catmopolitan, Scratching Post, Hemingway's Porch Rocker, and Bloody Claw.
We decided to sample a variety of their drinks. The Twisted Whiskers (6% ABV) is a New England IPA with a hazy golden color, a subtle creaminess, and a citrusy hop flavor upfront. The Dewclaw, also at 6% ABV, had a strong malty flavor. We also tried the Raspberry Wheat, whimsically named Boujee Cat, which delivered a refreshing hint of raspberry on the nose with minimal tartness, making it a solid ale. Lastly, we sampled the Kuroneko, a Japanese-style lager at 5% ABV, which pleasantly surprised us with its amazing taste.
Everything in this place is cat-themed, and it's fantastic. We even took home a glass as a souvenir. We wanted to buy stickers and cans, but they told us they were out. :( next time.
I highly recommend this place, the place is cat theme from the restrooms to the plates, if you love cats like me then it will be the icing on the cake. Cheers!
