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!

Consider putting the ride on the Chainlink calendar?

I'm aiming to catch the 5:45 train, after Brenner Brewing Co.

Comment by Marcusn on August 3, 2016 at 7:32pm

Any consensus on which Amtrak (from Union) we should plan to catch?

8:25am or 10:20am

Returns from MKE are:

5:45pm or 7:35pm

Sunday the 7th: is there nowhere closer left to go? i like riding my bike more than riding the train.  :-)

I may be interested in Crete

unfortunately that's too late for me. plus it's 35% starting at 10 am. i might have to settle for a quick loop before then. anybody interested in a early morning 40 mi.? beer only afterwards.

Comment by bobweiser on July 20, 2016 at 1:37pm

how early could we get back?

Comment by Zach Schneider on July 20, 2016 at 11:55am
