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.

Ugh, didn't get home until after dark. At least I only got rained on by a couple drops. Treated myself to a gyros, and a break, in Greektown.

I guess I’ll swing by the clock tower

Ugh (another) slow leak will be delayed. It’s fine if you go ahead just let me know and I won’t swing by the clock tower
