Almost exactly one year ago, I visited Noon Whistle’s Lombard Brewpub (800 E. Roosevelt) to understand why they were serving cicada-infused Malort. Sure enough, they got me again. Garlic Butterlört has arrived. In the brewery’s promotional copy, it’s described as “bringing big ‘better ingredients, questionable decisions’ energy. Rich, buttery goodness meets roasted garlic and herbs, with that unmistakable bitter kick that says, ‘maybe I do want another slice or just literally anything to get this taste out of my mouth.’

“It’s smooth. It’s garlicky. It’s bold. And yes—it’s the ultimate pizza crust dipper. You’ve had the garlic butter cup… but it’s time to grow up little one. Garlic Butterlört is here, and it didn’t come to play. Don’t ask for the parm rim.”
Obviously, there’s a lot more to talk about when it comes to Noon Whistle after ten years of business, serving both the Naperville and Lombard communities.

For this episode, I’m back at Noon Whistle with my spirit animal, Marketing Director Joey Giardiniera, to talk about Noon Whistle’s latest alcoholic chimera and all the other things, specifically:

• Noon Whistle’s unique beer offerings, including the new collab with the Morton Arboretum.
• Connecting with younger demographics as so much of the talk lately is on how 20-somethings aren’t drinking like their elders once did.
• Lower ABV: Is it the new battleground?
• The amazing food at Noon Whistle, specifically their pizzas.
• Events at Noon Whistle: Should I host a music trivia night?

For reference, here’s the last episode I recorded at Noon Whistle: The dreaded “Cicada Malort” feature.
