Noon Whistle Brewing to host Oktobeerfests this fall

Beer lovers, get your lederhosen ready — Noon Whistle Brewing is bringing the Bavarian vibes with not one, but two Oktobeerfest celebrations this fall.

The festivities kick off Saturday, Sept. 13, at noon at Noon Whistle’s Naperville Tasting Room, 1748 W. Jefferson Ave., and continue Saturday, Oct. 4, at 11 a.m. at the Lombard Brewpub, 800 E. Roosevelt Road. Each event promises a day packed with craft beer, live music, and hearty, German-inspired eats.

The brewery is known for putting their own spin on tradition, and Oktobeerfest is no exception. Expect special tappings of seasonal beers — including classic lagers, Festbiers, and a few creative surprises — as well as food offerings that channel the best of Bavaria. Think bratwurst, pretzels, schnitzel-style specials, and Noon Whistle’s beloved thin-crust pizzas.

Adding to the atmosphere, a full Bavarian band will perform live at both events, playing classic Oktoberfest tunes and upbeat polkas throughout the day. Guests can raise a stein (or two) in the beer garden or explore the brewery’s rotating lineup of small-batch releases inside.

“We’ve had an amazing time with our Oktobeerfest events in the past,” said Paul Kreiner, co-founder and brewmaster. “This year, we wanted to go full Bavarian mode at both locations, with two parties, and a ton of beer. It’s our favorite time of year, and we love sharing that with the community.”

Both events are family-friendly and open to the public. No tickets required — just show up thirsty.
