Cerulean, azure; the color of water, a flowing substance necessary for life – any relation to our beer as a substance which promotes the good life, livin’ it up, enjoying those relaxing afternoons and evenings?; the color of the sky – the sky’s the limit, enjoy the view of the clouds and the clear blue sky, memories of being a kid lying in the fresh cut grass watching the sky fly by and being an adult dreaming of those carefree days and taking each little pleasure in life and enjoying it to its fullest – with a cold glass of handcrafted Blue Cat beer, perhaps a fine cigar, and one heck of a good steak.

One cool dude; of or pertaining to being hip; a sense of style and flair; the tunes of the swing and jazz greats and the sounds of the roaring twenties and other stuff that permeated the culture of the not long ago past, when brewing and having fun were a part of everyday for residents of the Quad Cities.

the original Blue Cat Brew Pub, a local establishment which creates fine food and handcrafted ales and lagers for first-hand sampling.

A place whose philosophy lives the adage to be a place where everyone knows your name. A place where the staff love to meet people and make new friends from across the country. Shoot some pool, throw some darts, just hang out if you want. Get taken care of by people who know what good service is all about. A center of enjoyment and repose. A place to go more often than not because this is where you can relax!
