Cat to Judge Worldwide Beer Competition

The enigmatic persian cat at the helm of Feline Beer Advocate magazine, known to his fans by his pen name, “Bubbles,” will judge the 57th Annual Brewmaster’s Cup in Munich, Germany this summer.  "We’re honored to have such a noted beer expert lead our panel of judges,“ said Hans Fröehlich, chairman of the German Brew Club, which hosts the competition. 

Experts say that Bubbles’ preference for hoppier beers could take the competition in a new direction this year.
