Noon Whistle Brewing Wins Silver at FoBAB 2025 for Funderen Wild Ale

Noon Whistle Brewing is proud to announce that its mixed-fermentation wild ale, Funderen, has earned the Silver Medal in the Mixed Fermentation / Wild Ale category at the Festival of Wood & Barrel-Aged Beer (FoBAB) 2025.

FoBAB is one of the most prestigious celebrations of wood- and barrel-aged beer in the country, drawing hundreds of breweries from across the U.S. to showcase their most creative and carefully crafted brews. Earning a silver medal in such a competitive category highlights the exceptional quality, balance, and character of Funderen.

Funderen is a carefully blended foeder-aged wild ale that showcases bright tropical notes of passionfruit, pineapple, and melon, complemented by subtle tartness and a complex depth of flavor. The beer's mixed culture fermentation gives it a vibrant and refreshing personality, capturing the beauty of wild fermentation.

The team at Noon Whistle Brewing extends heartfelt thanks to its community and fans for their continued support. Achievements like this are made possible by the dedication of the Noon Whistle team and the loyal beer lovers who share in their passion for craft and creativity.

This recognition marks another exciting milestone for Noon Whistle's barrel and wild ale programs—and they're just getting started. Funderen is available in limited quantities at both the Lombard Brewpub and Naperville Tasting Room, so fans can raise a glass to celebrate this silver-winning wild ale and the spirit of innovation behind it.
