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.

didn't want to be too dissipated before returning into the wind, then felt exposed on the lakefront, ended up going to Forbidden Root instead of Griffith. brewpub just opened last month, packed (west town isn't hammond), but lucked into 3 seats at the bar. bike computer hadn't sprung forward, so late getting home, but only 5 min.

great, where and when would it make sense to meet up?

Comment by bobweiser on March 16, 2016 at 2:49pm

serge, you can be an FFF-er too!  wild rose doesn't open until noon, join us for a seltzer water? and what about returning together, via the new 18th st.?

this sat. 3/19? sure! compared to sun., a bit less sun, a bit less wind, a bit cooler. fine, but not shorts and short sleeves like last week!

I would be open to the third step next saterday. I may have a conflict the following saterday.
Comment by bobweiser on March 13, 2016 at 4:50pm

also, thinking about fri. or sun. (which unfortunately would conflict with Pastry - Brest - Pastry, lol) next weekend for an f-12 mar. alternative (just in case 3/26 is yucky)

save the dates! Sat. March 26 for the Third Step Ride and Sat. April 30 (not the 4th Saturday of that month) for the Dark Lord Day (and Fourth Step) Ride
