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.

Did you decide on Saturday or Sunday?

leave at 10 to get to IO at noon? the more the merrier! would Moody Tongue be a more practical 2nd stop? have you been there yet? i'm a fan. joe and dane took me there my first time.

What time are you guys thinking of going? I may join

Comment by bobweiser on December 6, 2016 at 3:34pm

ok, if you're going to get technical. never heard of Whiner, but i'm a fan of Moody Tongue, would it work to stop by there on the way back?

Comment by bobweiser on December 6, 2016 at 2:26pm

maybe Imperial Oak? anywhere you want to go?

Comment by bobweiser on December 6, 2016 at 1:12pm

maybe go west this weekend? sat. looks cold. sun. the ride back could be with a nice tailwind, though in snow.

Comment by bobweiser on December 5, 2016 at 4:18pm

maybe i have. if so, it felt good to do again! just before snow tire season.
