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.

anybody up for a ride to Bourbon County tonight? let's take advantage of the balmy weather before the ice pellets!

looking beyond sat. to 2014. thinking about tweaking the 12 steps:

  • a more consistent, and therefore predictable, schedule: the 4th sat. of every month (except for jan., when by tradition we go in the middle of the month)
  • opportunities for others to lead, since i might not be able to make it the 4th sat. of every month

it would be fun if there were some sort of prize for anyone who worked all 12 steps. a t-shirt or something? but i have no artistic ability or experience with t-shirts. anybody else?

Comment by bobweiser on December 13, 2013 at 1:13pm

how about leaving earlier, and by bike?

Comment by bobweiser on December 13, 2013 at 9:39am

It's not often you can get 5 beers rated 100 (Permanent Funeral, Dreadnaught, Arctic Panzer Wolf, Alpha King, and Zombie Dust) on tap!

in case you didn't get an invite: the Eleventh Step Ride is this sat.
