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.

This past weekend, I went to both More in Villa Park, and also Flesk in Barrington. More was decent, and I really liked their Falling Colors Coffee beer! Flesk wasn't bad either, but More made a slight bit more of an impression on me. Next time, I'll get some food at More to see how that's like.

I can't remember when it was when I first went to Prairie Krafts, but the better reviews I read for them vs. Half Day were why I went to Prairie Krafts instead. Still dunno if I'll ever go to Half Day once, just to say I did. BTW, has anyone ever gone to Light the Lamp? It's hilarious whenever I've tried going there a couple past times over the years, I always manage to have bad luck and that place is closed. :( I'm sure eventually, I'll visit there.
Really do want to visit Bosacki's soon, based on the checkins and word I heard from Serge about that place! I'll probably throw in a visit to Macushala, just before I go further north to Bosacki's sometime in the future. And a side question, has anyone gone to Roaring Table in Lake Zurich yet?

I agree about Bosaki's. Great Brown Ale. Brewer was there serving the beer - he loves to talk :) And Tighthead is just around the corner. Good neighborhood to end a ride.
Also enjoyed Macushala Brewing in Glenview. Another nice addition within 10 miles of home.

Made it home fine. Sorry to bail at Revolution, but it was a bit too crazy. But still looking forward to next year :)

I'm pretty sure they did. But after 95 miles and a long day of drinking, I was happy to just have a couple Octoberfests. Plus I'm cheap.
