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.

I just got notice that I was a winner of the Dark Lord Draw and got a couple of the extra tickets they were selling. 


Anyone else going to DLD? Riding there?

Serge, put up the event in the calendar already! So I can mark it on mine

Comment by Boonji on March 25, 2014 at 6:38pm

I am going to try to make it to both rides, but for those of you who can't make it to Penrose... https://www.facebook.com/events/268722703302324/?ref_dashboard_filt...

I told Rich I won't be able to do his ride, last night, since I'll have Hustle the Hancock on the 13th.

But I have 19th marked in my calendar.

I'd be up for a Geneva ride.  Valpo RT is just too far.

Comment by Rich S on March 25, 2014 at 1:57pm

Sweet! The 19th will be tough for me since that's the end of the school semester but I know come May I will have a lot of steam to blow off!

Let's do it! I'm itching for some good rides.

Comment by Rich S on March 25, 2014 at 12:52pm

Penrose Brewing taproom is now open in Geneva right off the Fox River Trail. I'm thinking of doing a ride there from Crystal Lake on Apr 12 if school deadlines allow.
