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.

Comment by Christopher Newman on February 16, 2021 at 6:36am: Yup, in front of the Adler. The Lakefront Trail was actually pretty well maintained, everything else was a slog.

Comment by bobweiser on February 15, 2021 at 11:51pm: nice, looks like the aquarium behind you?
