This week we head to Eris Brewery and Cider House to talk about the latest in the Chicago mayoral race as well as the release of the Mueller report

In the latest episode, we had a shot of politics on draft at Eris Brewery and Cider House, discussing Chicago's mayoral race and the power of endorsements, debates, and appearance of impropriety among candidates. We talked about Lori Lightfoot's defense strategy given her seeming frontrunner status while lightly pointing out the negative perception of Preckwinkle's running out of money or having a misguided strategy. We also highlighted Willie Cochrane's felony wire fraud case, labeling it the "week in aldermanic crime". Besides politics, we savored Chicago's rise to the top in terms of the number of breweries in town.

This week we met at Twisted Hippo to kick off the podcast. We discuss the Chicago election, the runoff, and a bit about why we're doing this in the first place. Then we move on to national politics to review the 2020 Democratic candidates and talk about the 737 Max.

In this inaugural episode of Draft Politics, we merged our loves of beer and politics. We kicked off the show by introducing ourselves and talking about our backgrounds in the political scene. We shared our aim for the podcast - to facilitate 'beer-level' conversations about politics, an atmosphere we believe can foster understanding and common ground. We tackled elections and upsets in Chicago, dove into alderman races, as well as the mayoral race, all while chatting in the comfy settings of local breweries.
