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.

@James @Dane great, meet you (and anyone else who's interested) at 450 davis st at 12:15. i'm a fan of off color, it would be fun to go if there's time.

James/Bob - maybe in Evanston, ride to botanic gardens, south on north branch, brewery(off color, hopwell or revolution)?

Thanks for the info. Your rides sound fun and relaxing. I do enjoy these kinds of outings from time to time. I look forward to riding with you all someday. Cheers!

Also, kit not required but understood. Please bring a bike lock and maybe a bungee cord (in case of Metra ride).
