BREWS & BIKES: North Branch Trail Alliance Style

Note: 30 minutes - 1 hour per stop listed below.

Guess How Many Beer on The Wall? *** A question for philosophers and empire builders alike. Meet at the friendly and fun North Branch Trail Alliance and find out.

10 am Beer on the Wall 106 Main St. Park Ridge 312/720-3732
Connect at this craft-beer focused cafe with 12 rotating drafts and 600 bottles/cans. Owner Ryan Tracy knows beer and knows fun. Take a step into a place built for both the kid in you and the discriminating adult beverage consumer.

10:30 pedal off

11:30 am Amlings Cycle. 8140 N. Milwaukee Ave., Niles 847/930-4711

Step right up and check out all the cool offerings from spanners and helmuts to bells and ... well - wet your whistle at the next stop. This place is a little slice of bike enthusiast Heaven.

12:45 City's Edge 5310 W. Devon Ave., Chicago 773/930-4711

Here is where you can whet your whistle and enjoy a sports bar feel with to-die-for sides (waffle fries & Brussels sprouts). A fantastic brisket slider. Super close to the trail and super friendly downtown Edgebrook vibe.

2pm Alarmist Brewing, 4055 W. Peterson, Chicago (Sauganash) 773/681-0877

Cycle a bit east for an NBTA partner business from the beginning. This truly chill location is great for kicking back and trying a new brew. Crazy for cider? Yoda says, Try you must the love inspired Right Bee Cider brand (born to the efforts of a local Sauganash couple).

3:30/4 pm Lake Effect Brewing - 4727 W Montrose Ave 312/523-5141
One beer is your golden ticket to tour this brewery. Learn the difference of the Lake Effect!

5 pm (NEW) Albany Place Kitchen & Bar - 4551 N. Pulaski Rd., Chicago 773/754-7057
It wouldn't be an NBTA ride without a last stop watering hole with staying power. Enjoy recounting the ride and connecting with fellow riders as we put our third NBTA September ride in the books. #

As always ... feel free to hop on and hop off the ride at any stop. ( Times are estimates only.)
