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.

they open @ 11. leave @ 8 from fullerton & the lake? then easy peasy fullerton to thatcher to washington to prairie path to fox river to there? headwind out, tailwind back. 43 each way = 86 RT.

bnsf out and ride back could be a more fun alternative, but timing isn't great, arrivals @ 10 and noon. ride out and bnsf back? departures @ 12:20 and 2:20.

I think I saw the New Glarus Jersey as well. What an awesome day.

It was gorgeous! Having only owned the bike for a few months now I opted for the metric century. I saw a New Glarus jersey as well, and ate maybe too many incredible rest stop snacks. Celebrated when I got home with Two Brothers Atom Smasher. Catch you out there next time!

saw a new glarus jersey not a revbrew one. what a beautiful day! how far did you ride? my first century of the year. an egg mcmuffin, potato soup, a hot dog, pizza, but no beer! having a prairie birthday bomb! now.

I’m on my way there now! I’ll be cruising along wearing a RevBrew jersey. Probably won’t be checking my phone much to conserve power but say hi if you see me! I’m on a green Co-op bike from REI.

last-minute, i know, but anybody else riding the north shore century tomorrow?

Comment by bobweiser on September 1, 2018 at 5:55pm
