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.

fair enough Duppie, it would be cool if we could establish a monthly thing, possibly keep a bit more local until the weather warms up a bit.
@Deet, are you talking about Two Brothers?
Winter/early spring may not be the best time. The IPP often does get very soggy, especially after a thaw. So while the temps may be nice, riding on the IPP will not be.
Better to wait until it dries out later in spring (i.e. April).
My $0.02...
What do you guys think about setting up a ride out there in the first or second week of Febuary?
SO EXCITING! 2 Bros is immensely doable, even the Aurora location. As are the locations along the Fox River between Batavia and St. Charles. Alan Lloyd and I did an +80 mile fiasco one Sat just to prove it! All Hail the IPP! Also there's a new distillery in Riverside as well as one of IL's oldest taverns in Oak Brook; both accessible with the help of the Salt Creek Path.
This looks like it could be cool, it seems that a route from downtown to 2 brothers seems rather do able, any thoughts?
Thanks. Noticed they missed One Trick Poney in Lansing.
I can enlarge the map but can't see much more detail. What is the difference between red and blue?
