Noon Whistle Brewing, 800 E. Roosevelt Rd., Lombard, IL (630) 376-6895 🗺️
Summerfest is coming, and we’re ready for a full day of beers, cocktails, food, music, and summer hangs.
One of the highlights of the day will be three brand-new fruited hazies brewed exclusively for Summerfest. We'll be tapping a Mango Hazy IPA, a Cantaloupe Hazy IPA, and Blackberry wHHHip, giving you plenty of fresh, fruit-forward options to enjoy throughout the day. Whether you're a longtime hazy fan or just looking for something refreshing for summer, these limited releases are worth making the trip for.
The music starts early with Junkyard Groove performing from 1PM–3PM before American Idiots takes over from 5PM–8PM. Between the live music, fresh beer releases, and great food, there will be plenty of reasons to stick around all day.
We're also bringing back some of the biggest crowd favorites from previous Summerfests. A giant bounce house will be running from 2PM–7PM, and we'll have bags, giant chess, giant Connect 4, giant Kerplunk, giant Tetris, and giant Yahtzee set up around the brewpub. There will be activities for kids and adults alike, making this an event the whole family can enjoy.
Of course, no Summerfest would be complete without plenty of cold drinks flowing all day long. Expect a great selection of beer, cocktails, and other beverages alongside delicious food and a few surprises.
Mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and join us for one of our favorite events of the year. Summerfest is all about great beer, good music, fun games, and spending a summer day with the Noon Whistle community. We can't wait to celebrate with you.

Solemn Oath Still Life, 2919 W. Armitage Ave., Chicago 🗺️
Five years ago, we planted a flag under the old trees & long shadows of Logan Square. A neighborhood built around movement, connection, & big beautiful boulevards meant to bring people together.
Turns out, those streets lead back to us.
Saturday, June 20th, we’re celebrating five years of the taproom we lovingly refer to as the Still Life. All damn day, as we’ve been known to do.
We kick off at noon with new draft-only beer drops, including the return of Dainty Dish, our Bang Bang Pie collab, with Bang Bang Bingo & pie on the early side. Later, as Armitage Ave starts feeling a little louder & looser, Chicago Secret Burger & Kite String Taquitos take over food duties.
No ribbon cutting. Just friends, neighbors, regulars, strangers, beer, food, music, & a room just off the boulevard doing exactly what it was built to do.
Five years down.
The road keeps going.
Boulevards all day.
