Noon Whistle Brewing Adds Kitchen, Expands Taproom In Lombard

LOMBARD, IL — Customers at Noon Whistle Brewing Company can now order eats while they drink. The Lombard brewery recently added a kitchen and expanded its taproom area.

The new food menu features a variety of shareable items and entrées, many of which are made with locally sourced ingredients. Diners can dig into charcuterie plates, munch on bourbon-candied bacon, or try their hands at a giant pretzel. Other delectable options include seasonal flatbread, grilled cheese panini and shrimp tacos, in addition to salads and other handheld eats.

Noon Whistle Brewing Company Chef Darrin Dybas said in a press release, "I plan to unapologetically infuse our beer into many of the dishes, within reason. There will be shareables, sandwiches, flatbreads, salads and main entrées but the food will rotate often just like the beer."

The food menu also features options for kids.

In addition to the new kitchen, Noon Whistle Brewing has expanded its taproom to three times its size, which company officials said will allow for easier social distancing. With the kitchen addition and expanded taproom, Noon Whistle Brewing plans to hire new employees in the coming weeks.

Noon Whistle Brewing Company's kitchen is currently open Wednesday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., with plans to open seven days a week.
