“Brad’s reporting on distillery cats actually moved me to
take a tour of Scottish distilleries, microphone in hand, to
meet some of the mousers in person. (And sample some of the
product.) It was a hardship assignment, and I couldn’t keep at
it for long. I am relieved to know that Brad has remained
committed to the mission.”
—Ari Shapiro, host of NPR’s All Things Considered
"The Best Food Book of the Year [...] Award-winning drinks
writer Brad Thomas Parsons put together a collection of
the country's most distinguished cats in a hilariously illustrated
book that belongs on your shelf next to the Modernist
Cuisine box set. [...] So do yourself a favor for once and
pick up this book. It has everything! Cats, beer, whiskey, love
lost and found, journeys of self discovery and redemption, heroes
and villains, tabbies and gingers, hell, even a few scratches on
the head. If you're looking for more than that in a book, good luck
finding it."
—Alex Beggs, Bon Appetit
“Cats + Booze! Brad Thomas Parsons has channeled his inner cat
lady to discover the ultimate formula for happiness.”
—Kerry Diamond, Cherry Bombe
“Cats! Cool illustrations! Great stories! Cocktail recipes!
What’s not to love about this book? Did I mention cats?”
—Andy Ricker, chef/owner of Pok Pok
"From shipyards to book-stores, there's a storied tradition of
employing cats in the workforce. In his new release, Brad Parsons
sheds light on the distillery cats, charged with the safe-keeping
of expensive grain at craft distilleries and breweries across the
country. Nowadays, they're more than mere workers--the felines have
evolved into social media darlings, at times amassing a larger
following than the distillery."
—The Local Palate
“Parsons, the sharp author of Bitters and Amaro,
clearly understands that the conceit is what it is, but he’s slyly
found meta-stories behind the various cat profiles: brewers and
distillers, mensches that they are, are not only willing to adopt
strays and shelter cats but could also teach Andrew Lloyd Webber a
thing about naming of cats (Daryl Hall, Old Horatio). And you’ll
likely discover a lot more distilleries around the country (Port
Chester, N.Y., Nashville, Tenn.) than most of us know. Beyond that?
Look, it’s a book about cats. But Parsons throws some not-obvious
cocktail recipes to sweeten the pot, rendering this a new classic
of a very particular genre.”
—PUNCH
"At BevCon in Charleston this year, the most buzzed-about new book
among spirits professionals was Distillery Cats by Brad Thomas
Parsons (Amaro, Bitters), which is darn cute, yes, but there's
plenty of history behind the practice as well as important reasons
for having a cat live at your bar, brewery or distillery."
—Amy Cavanaugh, Plate
