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.

Routes on Ride with GPS, here.

On Facebook, here.

Lists of breweries and brewpubs (and other beer things): on Facebook, and on Twitter.

Comment by bobweiser on May 18, 2016 at 4:21pm: serge, just the southern half?

Comment by djm on May 18, 2016 at 4:00pm: Amtrak to Grand Rapids isnt great; its somewhat better to Kalamazoo.

Comment by Jared on May 18, 2016 at 2:21pm: Wow. I'm guessing each color is a different day?

Comment by Jared on May 18, 2016 at 10:50am: Check the schedules. Its pretty useless. Only one train a day. Looks like it departs Chicago at 630 PM and then return trains are at 6 AM.

Comment by Rich S on May 18, 2016 at 10:24am: A trip like that would be better with an overnight stay! Gives more time to ride around and explore a bit.
