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.

more:

A strong arctic cold front will move through the area this
afternoon. A brief one to two hour period of westerly wind gusts of 45 to 50 mph is likely behind the front. The strongest winds will likely occur sometime between 2 and 5 pm. After the initial wind surge behind the front, winds will frequently gust to 40 mph through this evening.

so getting up there might not be so bad. plus, pollen counts are "very low".

Full disclosure:

GALE WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 AM SUNDAY
HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM TO NOON SUNDAY

A Gale Warning means winds of 34 to 47 knots are imminent or occurring. Operating a vessel in gale conditions requires experience and properly equipped vessels.

A Heavy Freezing Spray Warning means heavy freezing spray is expected to rapidly accumulate on vessels. These conditions can be extremely hazardous to navigation.

But we can't just wait for spring!

*On Saturdays and Sundays, the kitchen is closed between 3pm-4:30pm to switch from brunch to dinner service. The bar stays open.*
