New Doors and the Concrete Jungle

Read Now

Left: The new doors that will lead you from the parking lot into our micro-brewery.  Below:  Many of this blog’s readers have asked me over the past several weeks to show them what 22 tons of gravel looked like.  Well, you can stop asking. 

The all important plumbing rough in was finished last week and as long as it is functional we will be able to make good on that promise to have indoor plumbing. The first week of November brings to town an exceptionally skilled concrete laborer that will not only construct the eventual beer garden in the front of our building but also put in one of those nice long strolling sidewalks that will lead millions of people (or maybe at least thousands but without a doubt at least a few hundred and in a worse case scenario my family will show up) into the micro-brewery.  He is also set to build a ramp into our 492 square foot cold room.  So the week is pretty much full of Concrete setting up next week when Jimmy, the carpenter, starts the hammers into motion as the framing of the tasting room goes up.  Though hammers don’t really fly anymore on construction sites as I have found out but nail guns do. 

But please don’t let your liver get to excited yet.  Sure it seems like things are moving fast but we are still at least 5 months away.  Unlike CVS, who put up a major store at the intersection of Chippewa and Gravois in the time it took me to write this email, we are just barely keeping one foot in front of the other.  It is also important to note we have a slightly smaller crew of just two humans.  Unfortunately for progress sake,  the two humans on this job get sidetracked occasionally by some tasty barley sodas.  (by occasionally...I mean a lot...actually mostly just on Fridays.) But I digress or maybe regress...

Tomorrow, I am renting one of those nice walk behind concrete saws which with the help of the bobcat (pictured right) and operation skills of Mike (to be pictured later) will make way for a massive amount of new concrete.  Ramps, sidewalks and patios which are all very important to our mission at the Civil Life.  They say you should always build a business on solid ground.

    Hello earthlings. I have been sent here to open a brewery. I hope you have time over the next year to check in from time to time and see our progress (or lack there of at times).  

    I look forward to helping you come along for the ride through this blog. For me, there is no better feeling than creating a place and a product that becomes part of peoples lives. I am focused, immensely passionate and hopeful that each of you one day will toast “To the Civil Life.”

  • 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 May or June 2021. Hopefully.
  • Until then OUR PUB IS SADLY CLOSED FOR THE TIME BEING DUE TO COVID19.   WE WILL RETURN AND PROSPER.

PLEASE ALSO LOOK FOR OUR BEER AT LOCAL RETAILERS!
