If you make it as far as Chicago,

The Publican
The Map Room
Gordon Biersch (Bolingbrook)

Since you will be going through Des Moines, be sure to stop in at El Bait Shop. They have over 100 taps. Most of them great beers. http://elbaitshop.com/

Consider jumping up to Wisconsin for New Glarus. If you do make it to Chicago, I would add Goose Island to the list.

+1. New Glarus is only a hour or two north of Illinois. It's all two lane farm roads that looked like it be great to ride on.
