Meet Nugget: The Talented Cat Running a Brewery

At Strum Brewing in Ontario, California, there's a special employee who demands treats for her work. Her name is Nugget, and she happens to be a Russian Blue cat.

More Than Just a Brewery Cat

Nugget isn't content with simply supervising the brewery operations. This talented feline has a special skill that makes her the star of the tasting room - she gives high fives and fist bumps on command!

Anna, the co-owner of Strum Brewing, has given Nugget the official title of "main entertainer of the tasting room." And Nugget takes her job very seriously.

A Cat Who Knows Her Value

When new customers walk through the door, Nugget sees an opportunity. That's her favorite time to show off her tricks and earn some well-deserved treats.

But make no mistake - Nugget understands her worth. If she performs three tricks in a row without getting a treat, she's not afraid to let you know by swiping at you. This clever cat has clear boundaries about fair payment for her services.

Stealing the Spotlight

Nugget's fame extends beyond regular brewery hours. During special events, she often becomes the main attraction.

Last year, comedian Jeff Horste was performing a set at the brewery when Nugget started showing off her fist bumps and high fives. The cat was so charming that Jeff suggested the audience follow her on social media instead of him!

Social Media Celebrity

That recommendation worked wonders for Nugget's online presence. She now has more followers than both the brewery and Strum Brewing itself.

Fans can find Nugget the Brewing Cat on social media, where they can watch videos of her famous high fives and keep up with her brewery adventures.

A Working Cat with Attitude

Nugget may be the only brewery cat who demands payment for tricks, but her charm and talent make her worth every treat. If you're ever in Ontario, California, stop by Strum Brewing - not just for the beer, but for a chance to get a high five from the famous Nugget.
