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.

This week we grasp desperately at the last days of summer, enjoying some beers on the lovely deck at Metropolitan brewing. Of course we’ll talk about the latest news of the fraudster in chief and discuss the looming government shutdown.

This week we’re at one of our favorites, Half Acre, to enjoy some beers and cover the latest in the Trump indictments. Hint: it isn’t going well for Trump if the law matters.

This week we head back to Eris to have some delicious ciders, delivered automatically through the power of technology. We talk all about the indictments of course. No, not those indictments, the other ones. NO, THE OTHER ONES! Tune in, won’t you?

This week we risk the apocalypse by going outside the borders of Chicago to visit Temperance brewing located in Evanston. Of course we’ve got lots of indictment related news to talk about, but if you tune in this week, you can find out what the cutest animal on the planet is!

This week is a big week for Draught Politics where we bring in our Will Hurd correspondent, Carol, to talk with us about all things Will Hurd! That plus we have plenty of our new segment, Judgef**kery!

Naturally the indictments came out AFTER we recored this episode, but we were able to get together and ensure that we talked about them. We’ll start with a regular full episode, recorded at Maplewood brewery, and then at the end we have some bonus content dedicated to the indictments. Enjoy!

This week we’re back at Old Irving Brewing for some beers, some politics, and of course, their delicious soft pretzels. It’s been a while so we spend some time catching up on the latest goings on with Nobel Prize winner, George Santos, and of course that sexual assaulter, Trump.

This week we soak up the sun at Half Acre, sipping on their delicious Fire Snake (actually called Green Torch) lime lager. We dive into the Trump indictment saga, complete with MTG and George Santos making appearances at the arraignment circus. Meanwhile, we celebrate Brandon Johnson's mayoral victory in Chicago, defying polls and giving us hope that the city isn't regressing to machine politics. Plus, we introduce a new segment: 'Fuck That Guy' - featuring Clarence Thomas and his Nazi-memorabilia-collecting sugar daddy. Tune in for summer vibes and spicy politics!

Imagine for a moment that you could travel back a few days in time to see what the world was like before the Chicago municipal election. What would that world look like? How did we muddle through life without Trump indictments? Well, tune into this week’s timely podcast to look back at those halcyon days!
