It turns out, some of the most important people in craft beverage aren’t people at all. They’re cats.🐈

For National Cat Day, we’re spotlighting seven cats at independent craft beverage spots from breweries and wineries to cideries and distilleries.

And because every very important staff member deserves a title, we’ve given each cat an official job description. Quality control? Pint protection? Executive-level lounging? These positions weren’t going to fill themselves.

Meet the feline “staff” at:
Ausable Brewing Company
Wrath Wines
EVIL TWIN BREWING NYC
Riverview Road C***ry at Raising Cane Ranch
SEVENTH SON BREWING CO.
B.C. Brewery and
Willett Distillery

Which cat has the best job title? Tell us below. And if you know another independent craft beverage maker with a cat on staff, tag them. We’re always looking for more local makers to discover… and more feline management to meet.

🥇 Infinite Hotel — Wayfinder B**r × Bierstadt Lagerhaus
🥈 Neon Lady — Offset Bier Co. × New Image Brewing
🥉 Stupid Sticky Fingers — Werk Force Brewing Co. × Rocky Reef Brewing Co.

From a gold-medal team effort to a bronze-winning s’mores stout, these collaborations show what can happen when craft brewers create together.

Thursday Tastings: Adirondack views, barn vibes and b**r worth the drive. 🏔️

Meet Ausable Brewing Company, a farm-based nanobrewery in Keeseville, NY, set on 140 acres near the Adirondack High Peaks.

Picture a renovated 1880s barn, a sprawling b**r garden, mountain views and room to gather with friends. The setting alone makes this one worth adding to your list.

🍂 Oktoberfest — crisp, with a hearty malt backbone and a pretty unbeatable mountain backdrop.

🐌 Alpha Snail IPA — recently back in rotation. Consider this your reason to check it out.

🏆 Black Currant Brett — made with black currants grown right on the farm. It won gold in the Field B**r (Sour) category and was named Best New York Farm B**r at the 2026 NY State Craft B**r Competition.

Scenic views, a unique setting and a local maker to discover. Sounds like a solid excuse for a road trip.
