.. as long as it's not cats...

This thread reminds me..

Three decades ago I was a member of a cultural exchange visit to the Czech Republic.
Something I enjoyed once or twice a year back in those days.

On this visit we attended a formal event at a provincial Czech traditional brewery.
We were shown into a very large dusty room
where grains were spread out carpeting the floor as part of the brewing process.

I noticed cats randomly wandering around through the grains.
One obvious guess was they were brewery employees protecting the spread out grains from mice.
However the room also looked like one gigantic cat litter tray..

I've never trusted cats.

Nevertheless, whatever the processing hygiene standards of the the place and era , the beer we enjoyed sampling was fantastic...
