Chicagoland Beer Exploration Society

Information

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.

Comment by bobweiser on June 23, 2020 at 10:51am: I know it's super short notice, but my weekend is up in the air, and might be rainy, and the days are still long, so let's reopen the lakefront this afternoon! Sixth Step Ride at 3:30 at Fullerton and the Lake Front Trail.
