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.

The lazy option seems appealing to me. Is the Lagunita's brew pub opening delayed again? I thought it was supposed to open in June.

Comment by Rich S on June 24, 2013 at 6:27am

Ah good to know Lunar isn't so hot.  I won't visit Solemn Oath on account of their refusing to fill growlers from other breweries.  

I'm leaning toward lazy anyway since I want to try Dryhop and Revolution is oh so close.

I'd like to plan something for Friday July 5th and want to see if anyone's interested in either option:

Ride Option --> IPP to Lunar Brewing and Church Street Brewing (tap room only open on Fridays)

Lazy Option --> Lunch at Dryhop then head over to Revolution's Tap Room which should be re-opened by then.  

Anyone interested in either?

That trip to New Glarus sounds like a great idea. When were you thinking of doing that?
