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.

lady google suggests this, and i think i did what she said last time. for more of a workout we could include the hill.

Is there any decent route to get to Five Rabbit?

Comment by bobweiser on August 30, 2016 at 2:56pm

i'm thinking again about imperial oak / 5 rabbit on sat. "Sunshine and some clouds. High 77F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph."

No.  My brother lives nearby.  I'll be driving most of the way.  And as a side note the house he rents is marked on Google Maps as Barnhill Brewery, though its just someone homebrewing (and not actually in the barn as far as I know).

Jared: Have you ridden up Huron River Drive to Dexter?

Comment by Jared on August 30, 2016 at 3:50am

Yep, not much there, was just looking for rides to do around Ann Arbor.  Probably visit Jolly Pumpkin again.

Comment by djm on August 30, 2016 at 3:32am

Its a small town outside Ann Arbor.  The annual One Helluva Ride passes through it.  Go to Hell, Jared!

Comment by bobweiser on August 30, 2016 at 2:41am

how far is hell? and what's there?

Comment by Jared on August 29, 2016 at 11:48am

I might ride to Hell (Michigan).

Comment by bobweiser on August 29, 2016 at 11:05am
