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.

Dang I can't make it this Sunday.  

Comment by Deet 4.5mi on June 26, 2013 at 8:42am

so what is going on, are you guys planning a ride sunday?

Comment by Rich S on June 25, 2013 at 12:09pm

It's in then!  No pun intended!  

For July 5th it'll be a lazy day.  Meet at Dryhop around 11-11:30 and head over to Revolution's tap room around 1.  I'm not sure how packed or how much space Dryhop has so this will be an informal gathering.  I won't create an event but will post here and email the group an invitation.  All are still welcome!

The ride sounds good Serge but I do think we should try to include Lake Bluff.  Especially since we missed it on my ride last month due to train schedule.

Is there an event created for this?

Comment by Jared on June 25, 2013 at 11:44am

9 am meetup on the northside for people who want to ride the whole way, 10 AM in Wilmette?

July 20 to Kenosha: Good chance I can join this ride since you'll all be riding up through Lake Bluff where I live. Meet at Lake Bluff Brewing? Yes, it's small, but great beer and some outside seating. Metra home times are 6:49pm and 10:20pm (leaving Kenosha). 20 bikes per train.

And yes, tandems are fine on UP lines, as long as you pretend to know what you are doing.
Comment by Duppie on June 24, 2013 at 7:58pm
So from Kenosha, we'd be taking metra back into town? I might be able to get Mrs Duppie to come along on our tandem.
