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.

It's new to me. Why wasn't I informed?

Bob, I think Serge cancelled that ride because no one else showed up (it was scheduled for July 6th).

Serge, heads up that Penrose will be having a pig roast on Sunday the 6th which is already sold out. I emailed them to see if the taproom would be open and received this reply:
Unfortunately our taproom will only be open to ticket holders on Sunday. I apologize for any inconvenience and hope you and your friends plan on stopping in again soon.

Serge, I'm planning on riding July 5th ... but if I party too hard on the 4th and can't get out of bed in time then I would be game to ride with you.

Hey Dan, if you're planning on taking the Green Bay or McClory trails, you should know that they are really soaked at the moment. I rode them last weekend without fenders and it was a limestone nightmare. (slight exaggeration)

Did you see the piece on Gary, which mentioned 18th Street, in the Tribune travel section? It was an adventure getting there on Saturday.
Missed the turn onto Airport Road, rode through a rough (because it was under construction) section, kept going even after I realized I wasn't where I was supposed to be because I didn't want to go back through the construction, rode over a small bridge that was "out" (but looked solid enough) only to find that the road almost immediately ended, walked my bike through a field to abandoned railroad tracks and over an abandoned railroad bridge, noticed up there over the interstate that a road bridge was next to me, decided not to try to cross the 2-foot gap, clambered over on solid ground, and then had traffic going by at 55 mph, but there was plenty of shoulder and it was only 1/4 mi. to 5th Ave., and from there it was easy. :-)
