Chicagoland Beer Exploration Society
Information
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.

working on an idea for a ride sat. 6/21 (Sunny Hi 75° Precipitation 2% Wind NE 6 mph). Along Lake Michigan to Hammond, Whiting, and Marktown with CCC, then on our own to 18th Street. then i'd continue to Shoreline and stay with friends outside michigan city. the rest of the group would need to ride back (or make their own arrangements for the night).

Glad you got out, too, Serge. It was a nice day to explore.

Ramon - the tour was nice and worth the hour spent. I had already tried a few of their whiskies and really like the rye. Their honey liqueur is quite nice as well.
The tour gave me a small but nice appreciation for what goes into producing a high quality whiskey vs. a medium to low quality. I'm sure much of that in principle applies to craft beers.

Nice solo CBES ride Saturday to Penrose and Emmett's. Skipped Vintage Vintner after discovering a flight at Emmett's consists of one of everything on tap — 10 beers!

I'm leading a ride out to Chicago Brew Werks in Plainfield, as their on-site all-electric brewery (Werk Force Brewing) has now started pouring their own beers.
My ride leaves from Naperville, with CBW as the midway point of a 30-mile ride: http://www.napervillebikeclub.com/ride-calendar/calendar_ride_detai...
Feel free to join the ride, or just meet us there around 12:15-12:30.

Rich - please report back on the tour. I've been wanting to do the same. The two or three products I've tasted have been very good, though a bit more than I like to spend.

I'm busy all weekend so won't be doing much riding. On a side note I'm taking a tour of the Koval Distillery for some local craft whiskey tasting!

Weather looks reasonable tomorrow yet I dont see a ride scheduled. Perhaps a Fox Valley redux: Penrose, Emmett's (W Dundee), Village Vintner?

thought i already posted this, but apparently not:
in nyc over the weekend and heard A Fight Is Brewing. the evil twin had moved there, and each was continuing to collaborate with somebody here, ET with the aviary and mikkeller with 3F. a new brewpub is in the works! but we won't be able to ride there.
