Chicagoland Beer Exploration Society
Information
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.

ok, leaving @ 8:30 from fullerton & the lake for FFF. maybe then for a change of pace W as if to flossmoor, but then down the thorn creek trail to the old plank trail all the way out to wolf rd and up to tribes, only 2 blocks from the rock island @ 2:30 and 4:30. 33 to FFF + 28 to tribes = 61 total.

wait, that's backwards

they open @ 11. leave @ 8 from fullerton & the lake? then easy peasy fullerton to thatcher to washington to prairie path to fox river to there? headwind out, tailwind back. 43 each way = 86 RT.
bnsf out and ride back could be a more fun alternative, but timing isn't great, arrivals @ 10 and noon. ride out and bnsf back? departures @ 12:20 and 2:20.

I think I saw the New Glarus Jersey as well. What an awesome day.

It was gorgeous! Having only owned the bike for a few months now I opted for the metric century. I saw a New Glarus jersey as well, and ate maybe too many incredible rest stop snacks. Celebrated when I got home with Two Brothers Atom Smasher. Catch you out there next time!
