Episode XXVIII: Ray & Paul & Russell & Micah (BUG 2023 Preview)

The boys took to the road for this special episode of The 4E Podcast! Russell and Micah met up with Ray Stout - Executive Director of the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild - at Noon Whistle Brewing Company in the Lombard location, where we were hosted by Paul Kreiner - co-founder of Noon Whistle. We cover a bunch of topics, including 2023 Beer Under Glass (BUG); how the guild is working to make craft beer better and more accessible; what home brewing recipes influenced Noon Whistle beers; that Noon Whistle nearly opened in Oak Park instead of Lombard; and so much more. Enjoy! Also, get your tickets to BUG - they’re still on sale.
