    Now that their pub is back open to the public and they’re working on hiring kitchen staff, I was hoping to get some discussion going.

    As a fan of straightforward, but well-crafted traditional beers without the adjuncts, barrel-aging, etc. Civil Life really scratches the itch for me. I usually have at least two- or three of their beers in my fridge at a given time, my current favorites being the Dortmund Lager and Czech Pilsner. Any other people in the St. Louis area enjoy their beers as much as me, and perhaps want to get together at the pub sometime this summer? I’m slowly working through some of their brewery-only beers on draft.

    Civil Life is the best quality/price ratio in STL.

    Czech Pils is my favorite. Angel & the Sword, Rye Pale Ale & Cream Ale a part of my regular rotation.

    And the 12oz form factor! Dig it.

    Are they still cash only? My atm card has mothballs.

    They don't get the credit they deserve. Their American Brown Ale is the best domestic brown out there IMO.

    They can run credit cards now (at least they could during the soft opening, I assume that's staying)

    Love the renovations they did to the outside, hope to go there more often now that I know what it feels like to be without the pub for so long

    FYI, CL flush with cool stuff. Czech Pils. English Porter. ESB. Burton-on-Holt. A cold IPA? British Best.
