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.

Has anyone already thrown out the idea of going to Half Acre for a brewery tour? I've done their tour before, and by far, it's the best brewery tour I've experienced. Of course, we might not be in good shape to ride to another brewery, or even home, after that tour. :)
The Chicago Magazine list sounds pretty good, but I'll tell you, I avoid Hopleaf because it gets uncomfortably crowded in there. Sunday afternoon might be fine, but on a peak night, forget it.
Also, 2/16 is good.
I'll add my vote for 2/16...
ok, that's 0 votes for 2/9 and 2 for 2/16 so far.
any suggestions as far as where to go? what do you all think of what chicago magazine considered The 6 Best Craft Beer Havens? i liked starting with breakfast at 2 sparrows, and was disappointed we didn't make it to local option, last year.
2/16. I'm out of town this weekend. But would love to go the following weekend.
thinking about putting together another winter beer ride. this sat. 2/9 or next sat. 2/16? would rides on both 2/9 and 2/10 be too much?
Yeah, I've been to Moonshine. They have some nice couches when you come to the right. I can't remember the beer, really
Serge thank you for correcting me, the 9th it is. I we don’t start downtown where should we start? I am open.
It's about the same distance from the OP - so if there are any Outatowners who are game, we could meet out here and ride our own way down to meet the Chi folks there?
As in Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014???
