Noon Whistle Brewing

Growing up, Brewmaster Paul Kreiner and his extended family spent summer vacations in a small town in central Wisconsin where every day at noon the town whistle blew. The sounding of the noon whistle indicated it was time to crack open the first beer of the day. This tradition was about drinking great beer of course, but more importantly creating lasting memories with family and friends.

Fast forward to 2012 when Paul and his two lifelong friends Mike Condon and Jim Cagle decided to open a brewery in Illinois. The three friends set out to develop great tasting session beer with the intention that these lower alcohol ales can be enjoyed all day with family and friends. Noon Whistle officially opened its doors in 2014 with the original production facility and tasting room in Lombard, IL. Before long, the guys branched out beyond only producing styles with lower ABV to include hazy, hoppy, sours and everything in between.

In 2020, Noon Whistle expanded the original Lombard location to increase space for the tasting room, add an in-house kitchen and a dedicated banquet space. With the opening of our second location in Naperville that same year, Noon Whistle has moved production of our flagship beers to the larger facility leaving Lombard as our dedicated facility for producing innovative and wild/funky beer. Every day the team is looking to make something new, better and maybe never done before, while still producing the popular beers you know like the Gummy Series, Cozmo, Bruski, Hop Prism Blue, Leisel Weapon, and Smack Series.
