CBS First Thursday is back and better than ever – and we’re going back to our roots.
Moving forward, our monthly First Thursday gathering will focus on homebrewing, brewing topics and other subjects relevant to homebrewing and the local Chicago beer community. We will continue to be a forum for local homebrewers to share their labors and receive input from those who love beer as much as they do.
We will convene in the cellar room (downstairs from the main bar) or the Siebel Room (just inside the parking lot entrance) at Goose Island Clybourn at 7:30, with a presentation starting at 8:00. Please bring a homebrew or two to share with the group and receive comments and insights from fellow homebrewers and esteemed CBS members. As always, guests are welcome.
Stay tuned for regular updates on our monthly topics. Hope to see you all there!
The Goose Island Brewpub is located at 1800 N Clybourn, Chicago. Closest CTA stops are North/Clybourn (Red Line) and Armitage (Brown Line). Cabs are easily available on Clybourn Avenue.

Is there a fee for the brewpub entrance?

Of course not. It’s a brewpub! Imagine you’ll want to buy a few Goose-brewed beers in addition to sampling homebrew.

I am wondering if Goose will have any of there recently tapped beers at our CBS meeting? They used to do that but have not over the last 6 months or so.

The special beers were presented for the Beer Advocate gathering, which has now been moved to another day and time.
CBS First Thursday has always been focused on the sharing and tasting of homebrewed beers, and we’re thankful to Goose Island for allowing us to sample them at their brewpub. As such, we have always encouraged our members to buy a meal and some Goose beers during our visits.
On occasion, Goose Island’s brewer is willing to share some new beers with us, but it’s not something we expect regularly. Goose brewer Jared Rouben should be a special guest at November’s gathering, so perhaps this will be one of those days.

I was just wondering if this is open to the public, including those that are not currently brewing at home. I’m wanting to get into it, but do not have anything to bring…
Thanks CBS!

Yes, it’s open to the public. Maybe tasting some fine homebrew will get you motivated, both to homebrew and to join the Beer Society!

How many bottle do typically bring?
My wife and I just joined CBS and plan to attend for the first time Thursday. I am pondering bringing or just experiencing the first.
