Chicagoland Beer Exploration Society

Information

Chicagoland Beer Exploration Society

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.

It was great. Had 18 of us and perfect weather. 2 flats and 2 long waits at R&R tracks on way home though.  And some people missed some turns despite your cue sheet being spot on!

Sorry to whoever it was that showed up for FFF ride today at Queen's Landing with no helmet. I didn't meet you but heard my club wasn't keen on you riding with us due to the liability.  Everyone should always wear a helmet, but even more so on group rides.

Leading a march to FFF on Sat. if anyone's interested. (thanks again for the cue sheet @bobweiser) Meetup Event Details

Anyone up for an evening ride, starting around 4 today? Maybe take the North branch trail(heading north), with a beer stop in Evanston?
