What are you drinking? How about a Crook County IPA?

Craft beer is big business, just like government kickbacks and back-room deals.

Earlier this year, 350 Brewing rolled out Crook County IPA, which is available at a number of bars and retail outlets throughout the Chicago area. So, if you prefer your beer with a hint of a political undertone, you’re in luck.

And while it’s Chicago Craft Beer week, we might as well suggest some other politically-themed brews that might have potential:
