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 January 30, 2022 at 8:16pm: made it without any solid food. thanks partly an inspired new blend: power coffee. :-)

Comment by bobweiser on January 30, 2022 at 12:41am: posted! as is traditional in jan., departing Daley Plaza at 10 AM and collecting riders at Promontory Point at 10:45 AM. if I myself stop for lunch, it'll be takeout.

Comment by bobweiser on January 28, 2022 at 2:03pm: ugh, i hear it's safer to "choose to wear a mask in all indoor public settings". no lunch stop at all? it's a long time to stay outside when the High is 27F.

Comment by bobweiser on January 25, 2022 at 10:48am: best of dwindling options for First Step seems to be Sun.? though a headwind both ways. :-/

Comment by bobweiser on January 10, 2022 at 11:49pm: the 1/1 wave but unfortunately not the O wave

Comment by bobweiser on January 10, 2022 at 4:53pm: how's everybody doing? survived the wave! and want to keep surviving, so probably will require 3 shots for 1st step, tentatively sat. 1/29, when the forecast is decent:

27° Hi
Intervals of clouds and sunshine
Wind SSW 12 mph
Probability of Precipitation 25%
