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.

great, aim for noon?

Comment by djm on February 11, 2016 at 5:51pm

Yes for Local Option tomorrow.

"flossmore" reminds me of my dentist! Winds NNW at 10 to 20 mph would mean a quick, if cold, trip down...

or i could get away next tue., anybody else?

also, how about lunch and collaborations with pipeworks @ local option this fri.?

Comment by Deet 4.5mi on February 8, 2016 at 2:10pm

with a 20 + mph north west wind. That would be some extreme riding. Def a trip to flossmore.

and did you see who's still the fourth-best brewery in the world?

Comment by djm on January 30, 2016 at 11:45pm

Imperial Oak and OTP (and Portillos).
