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.

Np, let's ride on Sunday. Art of Beer sounds like a good option. Name the meet up location and I'll be there :)

dane sorry if i was unclear, meeting at noon in evanston would be tomorrow

Comment by Dane G on September 10, 2016 at 9:36am

Bob, still wanna ride today at noon?

Comment by bobweiser on September 10, 2016 at 1:01am

and a short ride to a good cause tomorrow (later today)?

The website seems a bit lacking.  There must have been nearly a dozen varieties on tap.  I recall several sours.  Another suggestion is The Art of Beer in Highwood, pretty much right off the Robert McClory trail.

dane i was thinking noon.

jared, great idea, i like their beer, but what's there? their web site has some nice graphics, but not much info.

Comment by Jared on September 9, 2016 at 5:47pm

Bob, for a change of price stop in at Ten Ninety in Glenview, not too far off the North Branch Trail.

Comment by Dane G on September 9, 2016 at 5:05pm

I'm down, what time are you thinking about meeting in Evanston?

Comment by bobweiser on September 9, 2016 at 4:36pm

Comment by bobweiser on September 5, 2016 at 11:39pm
