Cat Smash Fever Beer Label Contest

O'Malley Alley Cat Organization and True Vine Brewing are joining forces to make your cat a superstar on the limited edition Cat Smash Fever brew!

Here's how it works. Between August 1st and August 31st, you can submit a photo of your cat as a nominee to be featured on the wrapper of Cat Smash Fever. It's a special limited edition brew by the beer wizards at True Vine Brewing Company. Entering your pet is just a $10 donation to O'Malley Alley Cat Organization and you receive 5 votes with your entry.

Vote for your favorite. Then, starting August 1st, you, your friends, and everyone who loves your cat's photo will be allowed to vote for their favorite submission through August 31. Each vote is a $1 donation to O'Malley Alley Cat Organization!

The "Cat Smash Fever" beer label champion and 2nd & 3rd winners will be unveiled at our Oktopurrfest Event featuring the Purrs & Pistons Car, Truck and Cycle Show to be held on Saturday, October 18, 2025 at True Vine Brewing Company, Tyler, TX.

Win or lose - you won't want to miss our fun filled afternoon and evening that combines cars, trucks, cycles, mahjong and cats at one of Tyler's most exciting venues! The feline centric celebration features delicious fall fare with a German-ish theme cooked on the grill by SOLA BREAD! Bring the family and enjoy live music throughout the event, raffles, door prizes, silent auction and vendor booths in the covered pavilion and beer garden area. Great area for kids to run and play too!
