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.

Happy New Year!  Looking forward to CBES adventures in 2016!

Happy New Year!

I might try to ride to Kenosha (Public Craft and Rustic Road) on Saturday. I'm thinking mostly Sheridan Road though I might get on the trails north of Lake Forest if they are passable. If they're not I might just try for Zumbier in Waukegan. Either way I'd probably try to catch the train back from Waukegan (since there is only one southbound train from Kenosha at 6:49pm.) Anyone interested?

sat. might work for me. "Generally sunny despite a few afternoon clouds. High 38F. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph." or fri. again? not sun.
