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.

  • Mistral
    5.2% ABV $5 Stein

    Kolsch brewed with a single hop varietal from France. Aroma is primarily pear, banana, and tropical fruits. Secondary flavors of grainy malt and floral notes are also present balancing the fruit flavors. This beer is light bodied with a bitter, dry finish.

  • Barbarossa
    7.56% ABV $5 Imperial Pint

    Single hop IPA. Brewed with an experimental hop from France.

  • Sexy Neckbreaker
    6% ABV $5 Imperial Pint

    What I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, out of shape, craft beer drinking sweathogs to keep the noise down while I take my robe off and show all the ladies what a real man is supposed to look like. This Rude Pale Ale is Simply Ravashing!

Fullerton/LFT tomorrow Sun. @ 8:30. anybody else?

Comment by bobweiser on April 22, 2017 at 1:28am

Weather expected looks great: Mainly sunny. High 68F. NNW winds shifting to E at 10 to 15 mph.

The usual route to 3f comes out on calumet further south, do you want to branch off from calumet & 45th?

Comment by bobweiser on April 21, 2017 at 3:31pm

sure. from where? and what route do you have in mind? Erie-Lackawanna, ugh.

Comment by bobweiser on April 21, 2017 at 1:42am

ok, ride together to 3f, then you'll go on to Griffith and either ride back or to flossmoor and metra, and i'll return via 18th st and either ride back or take the nictd. when are you thinking of leaving/getting there?

and then the following weekend the Fourth Step Ride!

Comment by bobweiser on April 20, 2017 at 7:06pm

it's not that much farther than 3f, is it?

Comment by bobweiser on April 20, 2017 at 1:35pm

you're thinking Griffith? i'm of course thinking just 3f = 8 mi. as opposed to all the way back = 30 mi.

Comment by bobweiser on April 20, 2017 at 9:44am

or 18th st? nictd should be taking bikes again.

Comment by bobweiser on April 19, 2017 at 5:50pm

It's been a while since my last ride south-east... Wanna go there? As far as Griffith, at least. Either ride back or to Flossmoor?

with the wind going down, against coming back? if you have your mind made up, i guess i could go with you part way.
