Chicagoland Beer Exploration Society
Information
Every member of the Society (CBES) should aspire to have a beer at every brewery or brewpub located in a day or two bicycle ride distance from Chicago (and, of course, within the city limits).
Naturally, preferable way of getting to is by bike, as for riding back . . . whatever is available, train, bus, horse and buggy, depending on amount of beverages consumed at the destination.
Routes on Ride with GPS, here.
On Facebook, here.
On Twitter, here.
Lists of breweries and brewpubs (and other beer things): on Facebook, and on Twitter.
Up-to-date map (with a list, postal- and web-addresses and phone numbers, where available). Five hundred thirty (530!) so far.

Been thinking...
If everything goes OK, anti-virus-wise and all, perhaps, another WI beer expedition? In July.
Something like, Metra to Harvard, Harvard to Janesville (1 night), Janesville to Madison (2 nights, as there are quite a few places to visit, and I've never been there, except for one blizzard overnight in some hotel), Madison to Delafield (1 night), Delafield to Milwaukee (1 more night, or just Amtrak back to the city).
If anyone's interested, let me know.

Tomorrow is promised to be rainy, so I'll probably only go to the Alarmist (they recently made sehr gut German pils) and (just to add some miles to it) to the District Brew Yards.
If anyone wants to be anti-social, lemme know.

@bobweiser, the Tribune also had: "The brewpub eventually will reopen perhaps in a year or even two, 'in the future when it’s safe,' brewery founder Nick Floyd said Tues. The brewery and distillery continue to operate, he said, refuting speculation that Three Floyds is being sold."

Same racks as in the bike room at 311 S Wacker ;)
I didn't read the Trib article, Robert, as I'm not interested in FFF as you are. But there was an "official" FB FFF post with rather short explanation.
