Noon Whistle (IL)

Sounded like they were going to release another batch of cans next week or something, but maybe they just meant GummyBuddy cans

 

It will be Squishy Gummy again ‘in a week or so’ according to the Noon Whistle bartender I asked on Friday (was already sold out by that time). I also asked Highland Park Binny’s employee about it the same day and he also said he expects to get some in about a week or so as well.

That bartender at Noon Whistle said Squishy Gummy release was the craziest one he’s experienced since he’s been there. They apparently brewed a boatload of it to the point that they felt they could distribute and also have no limits as to how much you could can buy at the brewery. Didn’t appear to make a difference to the undead zombie neckbeard masses, because he said it sold out a lot faster than they expected.

 

Binny's AH had one four-pack of Squishy when I left there an hour ago. Pleasant surprise to find it!

 

Tons of squish at Binnys Grand. No limit.

Wish I could carry more of it home...

 

I have to repeat the sentiments of you guys regarding Squishy; it's really, really good.

I've had most of NW's offerings, and some have been great, and some . . . well . . . not so great. Given the disparity among their beers in terms of quality, and despite them turning the gummies into a rotating series, I think it would be great for them to just have Squishy be their flagship beer. It's a great advertisement for them if anything.

 

anybody know how much squishy they have at noon whistle? saw they had more available yesterday.

just checking boys

 

Agree, one of the best IPAs I have ever tried.

 

Looks like they had a lot as of an hour ago

 

Any one else going over for the aniversary tomorrow?

 

This one hitting distro?

 

considering the peppers, i'm not touching this one with a ten-gallon speedy gonzalez hat . . .

 

I've been planning on it based on the hope they tap a cool NE IPA one-off (like the peach one last year). The ghost pepper idea though? Not feeling it

 

Dont love the fhost pepper idea. That sounds terrible. I mean ill try it but i will never understand brewers obsession with hot peppers. Not only must it be a PITA to work with but most people seem not to love it.

 

The idea of a perfectly executed NEIPA with hint of heat from a pepper sounds really interesting. A subtle heat would add more complexity and balance out the fruit kind of like a spicy mango. The problem with this is very few people around here can execute a perfect NEIPA so I'm scared this won't have the juice, sweet fruit flavor to balance out the spice so the hop burn or pine edge that inevitably show up will only amplify the perception of the pepper's heat....Even for the best pepper beers I've had, they've all been "that's interesting" and "that was fun to try," it's never been "I'm glad I have 5 more of these to drink."

 

Has anyone seen a draft list posted for today/tonight/tomorrow?

Thanks for helping us non-Facebookers our haha. Was hoping for a NEIPA one-ioff but probably would try the sours

 

So i havent had them all but my dad and I have enjoyed some of their beliners in the past. Great Fruit, Nice Tartness, inexpensive and great drinkers.

So far the only NEIPA ive seen is the Ghost Pepper one but you never know. Im sure they will be rolling other stuff out today. Too bad the weather blows.

 

The Hop Prism Gold (Nelson Sauv) is legit. I don’t really love NEIPA’s with Nelson so this more balanced IPA is using the hop much more to my liking.

 

Are the Hop Prism beers considered NE Style? Blue and Turquoise were great IPA's, and I'm sure I'll like Gold as well, but they didn't come across to me as that style. Maybe I'm wrong, not trying to discredit your post.
