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.

Last year when we did this there were a lot of Mute Swans and possibly some Trumpeter (unlikely) Swans as well. I'll be bringing binoculars this time. Bring your appetite and space to carry back some beer from the pub.

Swans for lunch with beer? Sweet!

Crap that sounds like a fun ride but I can't make Monday!

Aye!

But then again, we have one coming up next week too, don't we? The Not Exactly Swizerland ride?

So, maybe I'll wait. We'll see

I would be up for that in mid-July (other than July 13th - Tour due fat)

Sounds good.  I'd knock off the Manhattan one and save that one for when we visit the one in Bourbannais (it seems like it would be on the route).
