Eric's Special Beer

Picture
Well, hopefully you have figured it out but that's our friend Eric to the left.  Eric is one of the biggest supporters of craft beer that I have ever met... and not just our craft beer.  He is an instrumental part of our hometown beer community at Stlhops.com and I have been honored to pour him many a pint over the years.  One of my claims to fame is that a long, long time ago in a galaxy far away we even went to grade school together.  

He also has an affinity for round coasters!  Remember seeing @ericstl6 on our highly collectible round coasters.  Well, that's him next to 42,000 round coasters.  That's Eric in coaster heaven.  

So go ahead, next time you are out and about grab a pint of Eric's Special Beer and take a look around the bar.  If it's a beer event, my bet he is there.  If it's at a restaurant or a bar, you'll know you went to a great place.  - Jake Hafner, owner
A brief historical review: 
1861 Farmer Richard Fuggle of Brenchley found a special hop plant in a flower garden and propagated it like crazy. 
1980s Jake Hafner and Eric Hildebrandt of Saint Louis met in grade school. 
2008 Eric began promoting the local beer scene via stlhops.com 
2011 Jake, Dylan and Mike opened The Civil Life Brewing Co. and Eric promptly became a supporter. 
2014 Civil Life brewed a special thank you for being Eric using a shed-load of Mr. Fuggle's hops.

​Western Civilization likely involved a few other events and individuals along the way, but you're basically caught-up. This is a stronger, more traditional English Pale Ale. Reminiscent of freshly-baked scones drizzled with honey. It’s a perfect bittersweet balance with profoundly grassy, earthy, woodsy notes. A special beer for a special friend (you too.)

  • 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.
