Time to Travel, New York: In an impressive move that’s equal parts public service and travel advertisement, Brew York has mapped out all 275 active brewing licenses in New York State. New York State has been a leader in brewery growth for the past few years, and seeing all those beer destinations spread before you is enough to make anyone want to hit the road. Just remember, quitting your job to travel only works out for people with friends in publishing.

Another Word From New York: Or, to be more precise, the New Yorker. The publisher and home of the most frustrating paywall on the Internet published a thorough and approachable history of sour beer last week, tracing the modern craze back to the earliest days of beer. It’s a terrific read, but be sure to do it all in one sitting or you’ll run out of visits for Shouts and Murmurs.

A Fine Time for Feline Wine: Denver-based Apollo Peak winery has released a wine you can share with your cat. Alcohol and grapes are both notoriously bad for cats, so the concoctions are made with red or white beet juice and spiked with catnip for a pleasant buzz. If you’re wondering what kind of person would willingly spend money trying to get a cat to drink with them, then we guarantee you don’t understand cat owners.

Yes, There’s a Pokemon Go! Story: Even if you’ve been living in a cave, you must have heard about the explosive spread of Pokemon Go! this week. The app now has more active users than both Twitter and Tinder, driving geeks of all stripes to the streets to fumble with their phones in the pursuit of strangely named creatures. Technically that describes Twitter and Tinder too, but trust us, it’s different.Test your knowledge of Pokemon and craft beer names with this fun quiz, and remember to organize your apps.

Cheers, Steve Dresler: Sierra Nevada’s longtime brewmaster Steve Dresler announced that he will be retiring next year, openly surprising the hell out of craft drinkers everywhere. Steve has helmed Sierra’s development for over 30 years, and he will be sorely missed and repeatedly toasted for his inspiring work. Happy retirement, Steve!

Go Outside and Be Nice To People: Look, the news we cover here is pretty lighthearted fair. Most of the news in the rest of the world is not. To extrapolate Bill and Ted, be excellent to one another, and spread beer.
