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.

Thanks Serge & all for a great ride.  See you again soon!

thanks for the taste alert. the south shore pdf doesn't mention it, but their web page says bikes "Bikes may not be permitted".

metra says "Due to high ridership, there is an increased likelihood that bikes cannot be accommodated".

it may just be that they may run out of room for bikes, in which case it might be possible to get on early in the run. i guess people still might be going in mid-afternoon.

Are you planning to head for the Matteson Metra?

Comment by Duppie on July 7, 2017 at 11:10am
If we leave off square by 2:54 it's unlikely that I will be in any shape to ride to Hammond, let alone home.
Just sayin....
