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.

ok, that's 0 votes for 2/9 and 2 for 2/16 so far.

any suggestions as far as where to go? what do you all think of what chicago magazine considered The 6 Best Craft Beer Havens? i liked starting with breakfast at 2 sparrows, and was disappointed we didn't make it to local option, last year.

2/16. I'm out of town this weekend. But would love to go the following weekend.

Comment by bobweiser on February 6, 2013 at 8:50am

thinking about putting together another winter beer ride. this sat. 2/9 or next sat. 2/16? would rides on both 2/9 and 2/10 be too much?

Yeah, I've been to Moonshine. They have some nice couches when you come to the right. I can't remember the beer, really

Serge thank you for correcting me, the 9th it is. I we don’t start downtown where should we start? I am open.

It's about the same distance from the OP - so if there are any Outatowners who are game, we could meet out here and ride our own way down to meet the Chi folks there?

As in Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014???

Comment by Deet 4.5mi on January 24, 2013 at 8:05am

How about we plan it for Saterday the 8th.

Comment by Deet 4.5mi on January 24, 2013 at 5:33am

i just called and they are not open until Feb 7th and they  were not willing to have people come thru until then. Anybody have another idea, being that we will have some snow down on the ground it might be better to keep it local. Thoughts?

Comment by Deet 4.5mi on January 24, 2013 at 3:45am

i can give them a call and confirm. Do you have a route in mind?
