#Carlbock Makes a Triumphant Return and an Old Favorite Will Soon Flow for the World Cup
 
Few beers in the world command as fanatical a following as #Carlbock, a complex strong golden lager styled like the classic Maibocks and Hellesbocks of Germany. It is on tap now at the Civil Life and available until Matt and Paul drink it all.
 
The origins of #Carlbock are shrouded in mystery and go back to the earliest days of our brewery … before we opened, in fact. In those days, a man of many talents called simply “Carl” volunteered his efforts to expedite the opening of the Civil Life.
 
Our three founders were busy building the Civil Life themselves. These three styled themselves “The Three Wise Men,” though they were commonly referred to as “The Three South City Drinkers.” Carl stepped in with his keen knowledge of paint and drywall and things really started happening.
 
He also boosted morale and reminded the founders that too much time playing ping pong and eating microwave burritos would only delay the realization of their dream. When the building was ready, Carl asked only that the Civil Life someday brew a bock beer, a style he greatly enjoys.
 
When the tasty golden lager was ready, it was named for Carl. #Carlbock (that is, “Hashtag Carlbock”), created a social media storm. Called by some, the beer that made Twitter famous, #Carlbock quickly became a legend. Come down and taste for yourself.
 
And soon, GOAL!den Ale returns to our taps. We brew it for our friends at Amsterdam Tavern in time for the World Cup Soccer Matches. They will start pouring it tomorrow. This crisp golden beer is a very refreshing blonde with subtle hop character. It will pair well with Dam Burgers and hand-cut fries.
 
As crisp as a lager, but an ale, its civilizing qualities are unmatched, turning even seasoned lager louts into gentlemen. After a couple of pints, Barcelona fans have embraced Real Madrid followers, and Manchester United stalwarts have begun dancing spontaneously with Liverpool diehards.
 
GOAL!den Ale comes soon to the taps at the Civil Life. Until then, head down to the Amsterdam on Morganford for a refreshing pint of this classic. Clink glasses with someone wearing a rival’s colors. Enjoy the coming matches and Be Civil!

    The Civil Blog has returned.  It is predominantly authored by Civil Life Barman, Dr. Patrick Hurley, who can be found tending to our bar patrons on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.  He is also responsible for tending to our draft lines, which is recognized as one of our most important tasks. Special guest writers will appear from time to time. We hope reading this blog will give you much insight about the Civil Life and most importantly help you understand a bit more about all of us that work here and the beers we put our hearts into.

  • Due to our small inside pub space we currently do not feel we could be safe to open for our staff and customers.  We currently are hoping to get our patios re-modeled during this shutdown and are hoping for an outdoor only opening in late September or early October. Hopefully.
  • Until then OUR PUB IS SADLY CLOSED FOR THE TIME BEING DUE TO COVID19.   WE WILL RETURN AND PROSPER.
