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.

I'm not sure how I missed that you were going to go to Suttons Bay, and Cedar. Good you are at least going to briefly go into that peninsula, northwest of Traverse City.

I also didn't know Itasca had another brewery opening up, besides Church Street. Interesting to learn!

Psst...can you now reveal the secret brewery?

I looked at the map, and also took a look at the Google document of the itinerary of places you're planning to visit on that trip. That sounds like it'll be a lot of fun to go through those northern Lake Michigan breweries and towns, have a great trip!

Surprised you aren't doing at least a few brief stops on the peninsula that's northwest of Traverse City, i.e. Suttons Bay, Glen Arbor, Lake Leelanau, etc. Ah well, I can't wait to see all your pics, when you come back from this trip!
