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.

Up-to-date map (with a list, postal- and web-addresses and phone numbers, where available). Five hundred thirty (530!) so far.

This looks like it could be cool, it seems that a route from downtown to 2 brothers seems rather do able, any thoughts?

Thanks.   Noticed they missed One Trick Poney in Lansing.

This map is for reference only. I meant to provide the source, which is The Beer Mapping Project.

I can enlarge the map but can't see much more detail.  What is the difference between red and blue?

Planning ahead . . . Wild Onion Brewing (Lake Barrington, IL) has tours of their brewery first Saturdays of every month. How about May 4th? Here's an approximate route, generated by Google Maps. Opinions?
