Celebrate Independence Day with Civil Life

Celebrate Independence Day by Supporting Independent Local Businesses
 
The Fourth of July is almost upon as, and across the country, people will celebrate with fireworks and backyard barbecues, as well as plenty of craft beer brewed in their own cities and neighborhoods.
 
After the colonies achieved independence, the United States grew rapidly through several periods of immigration. The settlers had brought their love for beer from England; brewing was established early. Often it was home brewing.
 
The nineteenth century saw large numbers of German immigrants bringing their traditions to the still-young United States. In the Midwest especially, German families built many breweries. Names like Frederick Pabst, Joseph Schlitz, and Adolphus Busch were soon known throughout the world.
 
But many smaller breweries dotted the major American cities. The dark chapter of American history known as Prohibition saw the end of many of these local, independent, family businesses.
 
Until the early days of craft beer, Americans had little choice in terms of beer styles. But the American spirit of innovation could not be suppressed. Anchor, Boston Beer, and Sierra Nevada were among the first microbreweries, though they have grown considerably. Regional breweries like Bell’s in Michigan and our own Schlafly followed.
 
Now, even many smaller cities and towns have one or more craft breweries, returning to the great traditional styles and putting new American spins on them. Drinking the fine products of your own city and even neighborhood is now a possibility for most Americans.
 
Celebrate your independence with your favorite local beers. No barbecue or outdoor summer party in Saint Louis is complete without German Wheat in cans! Don’t forget to stock up. We also have plenty of cans of American Brown Ale, but Angel and the Sword won’t be around for long. Best yet, it's hard to beat our to go can prices.  You can take home a case of genuine Civil Life beer for $32.00 (tax included) or a 6 pack for $9 (tax included. We will be happy to fill your growlers  as well with any of our twelve beers available on tap. Stop in and see what we have.
 
Remember, every order of Civil Life beer is a declaration of independence. Drink Civil and Be Civil … on the holiday and every day. Happy Independence Day from the Civil Life!
