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.

Have fun Serge! (btw, your route is not public). I'll be camping out near Dixon, IL and plan to bike home on Sun. (+Metra). I assume Forge Brewhouse in Sycamore is worth a stop? And I hope to have time for a pint before train. Which is best recommended in Geneva, Stockholm's or Penrose?

I wouldn't make a special trip there, but it is less than a mile from the Des Plaines River trail if you're in the area.

It was massive. While they had some of there own beer on tap, they had several dozen beers from other breweries and a full bar.

Ended up riding Metra to Waukegan then riding south. Hit up Only Child, Half Day Brewing and Prairie Kraft. Rode Des Plaines River Trail most of the way, only one underpass in Lake County was flooded.
