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.

Crown Point Brewing, Route 2 Brews, St. John Malt Bros, New Oberpfalz, Flossmoor.  109 miles total for me.  Got a little hot in the afternoon.

So what is the destination for the Sunday ride?

Comment by Jared on July 3, 2015 at 9:12pm

was just a tasting and I was too late

Comment by Rich S on July 3, 2015 at 5:08pm
Jared, it's probably just a few bottles open for free tasting. They have tastings every day and often it's stuff not available for purchase in the store or even Illinois.

Looks like they have New Glarus Wild Bitter at Beer Temple.  Hope they don't get in trouble.
