Noon Whistle (IL)

I'll buy you a beer if you intentionally skip the stroller and walk into your house with 2 crowlers instead.

 

Somehow I think it's cheaper for him to pay for that beer himself as opposed to paying for a divorce.

 

Guys, guys, guys, no worries. What kind of monster do you take me for? I have a friend who does divorce law.

 

this new gummy is really, really solid. Somewhat of a more "bitey" aftertaste (that's my thing though) but really well-balanced. I think it beats the pants off of Jive.

 

I need to try Funny again, but I think this is my favorite Gummy

 

Hoping to head over after I get my girls down. Won't be until 9'ish though if I'm lucky.

 

Crap. I missed this. I left about 30 minutes ago. Next time you're headed there and let me know.

 

Found out they're brewing a collab on Sunday: it's a NE IPA with mango. Wish I remembered with whom they're brewing, but it sounded awesome.

 

was there tonight from about 9:30-10:20. drank two pours of let's gummy and got 2 crowlers of it and a crowler of mosaic. let's gummy is pretty damn phenomenal. sounds like they will be canning different variants june/july for brewery releases only.

 

Saw your review. Not a fan of the Let's Gummy?

 

Terrible news!

In all seriousness, I can see that, but it's a shame. They make very solid stuff, I think it would do them a lot of good to get their NE beer out to distribution (not that it's hurting places like Treehouse, but still).

 

As I've said many times, I'm a huge fan of the no distro model. One of the reasons was listed above. The brewery can control the beer. If it goes to a place like Beer Temple or Capones, it's going to sit on the floor for hours to days. Tree House, Veil, Tired Hands, Trillium, and Monkish all sell cans from their own places and all keep and sell the beer cold. Definitely the right move for Noon Whistle.

 

Ive been out there a couple of times and it's great. Probably going to drag the girlfriend out there today to try Let's Gummy.

 

Honestly, I'd be fine with them pulling a Trillium and putting stuff on tap at local places (and occasionally distro-ing bottles/cans/whatever). My argument isn't that it's best for the beer itself; it's that it's best for me.

I do think they'd probably (key word) blow up quicker if they got cans out to distro, but I understand that not every brewery wants that ASAP, and that for some it's a logistical nightmare.

 

I don't know, I feel like brewery-only IPAs build hype much faster than if they distro. The word might get out slower, but once it does I think demand will accelerate faster as it seems like difficulty to obtain makes beers taste better to a lot of people.
