Released in April 2024, Zwickel Light is a true light lager with just 95 calories and 3.7 grams of carbs per 12-ounce serving, rivaling national brands while delivering superior flavor. Brewed with 100% barley malt, it offers a crisp, clean and refreshing taste with more depth than typical mass-produced light lagers. This local beer quickly became the largest new craft brand in the region, surpassing even national craft entries. As the fastest-growing light beer in the area, Zwickel Light is already UCBC’s No. 2 brand, second only to the flagship Zwickel Bavarian Lager, with a bright future ahead.

At this new Italian hotspot on the Hill, The wagyu sliders pair beautifully with Civil Life Rye Pale Ale, as the tenderness of the wagyu and richness of the caciocavera cheese complement the beer’s hoppiness. Burrata di puglia is a perfect match for 2nd Shift Bella Birra, a light lager that enhances the basil olive oil without overpowering the burrata and grilled Italian bread. Fritto Misto All’Italiano shines alongside Peroni, allowing the crispy shrimp, calamari and scallops to stand out. Carciofi Fritti finds balance with 4 Hands Incarnation, whose slight bitterness complements the fried artichokes. Schlafly Kölsch enhances the silky steak and truffle oil in Tagliata Al Tartufo.
