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 else going to Goose Island Clybourn's 25th Anniversary Celebration?

Ilter and I are doing a ride down the Fox this Sat. if anyone is interested.  While not booked as a beer ride, we do go by two breweries.  If someone is feeling parched and needs to get a drink, I won't argue.

Looks more like March 38th to me Serge!

31st, eh?  Serge, you'd better have some ridiculous lies to tell us to prepare for Lee's Liar's Tour.

Sunday actually looks good to me!

How far of a ride is it?
Comment by bobweiser on March 24, 2013 at 12:35pm

it was a breeze getting here, and they're only out of 2 beers. $8 for a flight of 6 is a great deal. and they have wifi. ask for anne, she's a sweetie, and a biker, too, or at least she was until her bike was stolen.
