Highland Park Brewery Sad Cat Shirt

Highland Park Brewery is known for two things: world-class beers and an aesthetic that is unapologetically weird and wonderful. This shirt pays tribute to the latter. Featuring the iconic “Sad Cat” graphic often associated with the brand’s indie-art vibe, this tee captures the internal monologue of every craft beer fan who has ever waited in a long line for a can release.

The design is simple, hand-drawn, and hilariously emotive. It features a cat that looks like it has seen too much—or perhaps just dropped its taco. It’s a departure from the aggressive, masculine skulls-and-hops imagery found in most brewery merch. Instead, it leans into a “sad boy” indie aesthetic that pairs perfectly with shoegaze bands, hazy IPAs, and sunny afternoons in Los Angeles.

Printed on a smooth, durable cotton tee, the graphic is crisp and clean, allowing the cat’s sorrowful expression to really shine. It’s a conversation starter at bottle shares and taprooms alike. Whether you are a local to the HPB taproom or just a fan of weird animal art from across the country, this shirt is a mood. Wear it to show that while your beer might be bright and hoppy, your vibe is complex and deep.

Frequently Asked Questions about Highland Park Brewery Sad Cat Shirt

1. Is this a specific brewery logo? This design features the artistic “Sad Cat” imagery associated with Highland Park Brewery’s branding and merchandise aesthetic, rather than just a standard text logo.

2. Why is the cat sad? That is up for interpretation! Maybe he missed the latest can drop, maybe his glass is empty, or maybe he’s just contemplating the complexities of a pilsner. It’s part of the charm.

3. Is this shirt only for beer drinkers? Not at all. The graphic stands on its own as a piece of funny, indie art. You don’t need to know the IBU count of an IPA to appreciate a crying cat.

4. How does the shirt fit? The Gildan 5000 is a standard, boxy American cut. It fits true to size for men. For women, it offers a relaxed, boyfriend-style fit. If you prefer a tighter look, we recommend sizing down.
