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.

No, a little creature, seemingly as curious about me as I was about it. We stared at each other a long time as I coasted closer and closer. Finally it disappeared into the brush alongside the trail.

Liquid Dreams was a blast! Beer, food, music, all top-notch.

Saw a fox on the trail just before Indiana!

the beer and food and company were great, i liked the route tweaks, somehow the hills didn't seem so long this year, i didn't bonk, the weather in the morning was beautiful and it didn't rain until i was inside revolution and after i left it only sprinkled, and old opcc friend of mine joined us on his pedersen.

ok, leaving @ 8:30 from fullerton & the lake for FFF. maybe then for a change of pace W as if to flossmoor, but then down the thorn creek trail to the old plank trail all the way out to wolf rd and up to tribes, only 2 blocks from the rock island @ 2:30 and 4:30. 33 to FFF + 28 to tribes = 61 total.
