A brewery in the western suburbs got in trouble for celebrating this year's cicada emergence. Noon Whistle Brewing Company in Lombard sold $5 shots of cicada-infused Malort, using bugs foraged from a nearby park. The brewery gained a lot of attention in May for the drink, but then changed its mind, saying they wouldn't sell it anymore. "It was a fun little moment there that sort of honestly started as a joke/dare and really just totally blew up. What a wild ride.
We hope you all appreciate our spirit of exploration and our devotion to creating a fun atmosphere…," the brewery said on social media. "We think a few people will breathe a sigh of relief knowing that they can come and hang out at our Lombard Brewpub and not be grossed out. Cheers!"The Illinois Liquor Control Commission confirmed Friday that the bug-infused drink violated a state order and issued a fine, but didn't provide further details.
