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.

Liquid lunch?
Comment by Rich S on December 16, 2014 at 2:23pm

18th Street's bottle shop is sold out from last weekend's event and they're not filling growlers ... so lunch at Half Acre it shall be.

Just say you're contagious and need the rest of the week off!

Damn! I had already planned on playing hooky from work for Friday with Shay

If anyone else is off Wednesday ... I'm thinking of taking South Shore line over to 18th St Brewing. Or maybe just be lazy and have a few at Half Acre. Message me if anyone would like to join!
