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.

sergei, 29th might be possible. if i'm not too wiped out from the day before, i'd even consider riding out to the start.

morgan, thanks for spreading the word. will miss you in cali.

Serge, I can probably make it on the 29th. I'd definitely like to try Hopvine.

Morgan, it's 10.09, but it's not for long.  :-)

Are you turned off by 200-mile rides at 30 mph? Can you leave work early? It's the Fuckin' Catalina Wine Ride. 3.7 miles, 10.09 mph, Friday the 13th.

The Oct 19 ride ends at Lake Bluff Brewing but I'm not aware of anything planned prior to that. 

Comment by Adam Herstein on September 4, 2013 at 3:47am

Is there a trip to Lake Bluff Brewing in the near future?

Comment by bobweiser on August 20, 2013 at 5:13pm

decided on 9/28 for the Ninth Step Almost-Century. hope that works for everyone!
