We're trading political punches over beers at Hop Butcher, talking about Nikki Haley’s bold move against Trump, the 2024 election rollercoaster, and Arizona's wild Senate race. Plus, some serious legal drama for Trump and a brief on the Israeli situation. Strap in; it's a bumpy ride!

Today's hilariously chilling episode comes from Double Clutch Brewing in Evanston, the furthest we've braved for beer. We dove into the frothy currents of political and legal chaos, joked about Trump's mounting legal fees and his unusual courtroom confession, while sipping fantastic beers and cozying up to the best pretzels around. Next up, we brace for a record-cold Iowa caucus where Trump's inevitability could be his Achilles' heel. Stay warm and tuned!

The 14th Amendment's impact on Trump's ballot woes gets dissected, and Illinois' new laws, including minimum wage hikes and banning book bans, spark our debate. Plus, we touch on CPS changes and migrant challenges without losing our humor over a hint of Aaron Rodgers' unvaccinated stance. No Epstein list scoop yet, though!

Cheers to another deep-dive discussion all served up with a side of quality Begyle brews.

This week we stopped by Metropolitan Brewery despite some location mix-ups. We discussed their bankruptcy woes and sipped beers like their Crankshaft Kölsch. Politics-wise, we dove into the chaos of Trump's legal entanglements and upcoming trials, Congress' fumbles, and a bit on international tensions. Also, a nod to Hunter Biden slapping lawsuits on his detractors and local Chicago politics, from budgets to the fate of the Skokie Swift. Stay tuned for local brewery love and political banter, topped with a Lions vs. Packers Thanksgiving game chat.

In episode 101 at Ravinia Brewing, we made it past our centennial mark and dove into some legal brew-haha between Ravinia Brewing and Ravinia Festival.

Plus, a fun detour into Chicago's political theatre, with a progressive push for housing funding and an alderman's physical scuffle over a vote. Our beer picks? Pumpkin alt and more!

In this episode, we celebrated the 100th episode of "Draught Politics" at the District Brew Yards. We had a lively chat with special guest Carl Rutherford from Twisted Hippo who gave a deep-dive on the state of the beer politic world and its struggles, including the stalled direct-to-consumer laws and overall impact of the pandemic on lesser-known breweries. Our chats ranged from serious global events to the importance of supporting local breweries and creating sustainable growth within the sector.
