I looked through the Best of listed from Craft Beer & Brewing magazines lists and today I am highlighting a brewery from St. Louis, MO, Civil Life Brewing Co.
I like the Be Civil tagline, it puts you in a good mood from the get-go. Here are the beers that I would want in a first taster tray….
#CarlBock Lager – “Crafted as an authentic Munich Helles, increased to Bock alcoholic strength, #Carlbock is a nice malty and hoppy golden lager, with lightly toasted notes, a hint of spice, and a crisp finish.”
Festival Mild – “a delicious English-style dark mild ale. Malty, toasty, nutty, caramelly, with hints of coffee, chocolate, black cherry and plum, with an earthy, herbal, and citrusy hop balance. This is a stronger version of Mild, as traditionally brewed in Hampshire for special occasions.”
Black Lager – “It’s a crisp, clean, cold-fermented lager but darkly coloured with a discreet, fragrant roasty essence. Perfumey noble hops. Grainy and just a little toasty, with hints of coffee and chocolate. Light body and carbonation. Smooth and delicious, finishing with a nice dry snap.”
Altbier – “It has a subtle fruity-floral-winey taste like Kölsch, but is redder and hoppier, with a bit more malt complexity.”
