17 WEDNESDAY Tonight, as on the third Wednesday of every month, the self-proclaimed “beer geeks” of the Chicago Beer Society will relax their tasting standards and enjoy gulps, not sips, of brew during social night at the Map Room, 1949 N. Hoyne (773-252-7636). Not that CBS members tend to drink like sommeliers anyway: for every tasting or home brewing seminar listed on the group’s Web site (www.chibeer.org), there’s also a bar crawl, picnic, or cruise. It starts at 6 and beers are 50 cents cheaper if you have a CBS membership card; for information on joining their ranks, visit the site, E-mail membership@chibeer.org, or write to PO Box 1057, La Grange Park, 60526.
