Episode 1 - Mayoral Brews & Corruption

March 25, 2019

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.
