Beer Logic - “Everything I ever needed to
know about politics, I learned from beer”
Chad Pilbeam
After a long day of beer drinking and sessions that
actually teach you something, it’s time to have a few
laughs (and another beer). Beer Logic is a cynical,
sarcastic, and comedic look at everyday subjects
through “beer goggles”, but you’ll be seeing things
better than 20/20. And what better place to look, especially with elections right around
the corner, than the political arena. Chad Pilbeam stands for “Beer” and wants you vote.
Evidence will be presented tongue-in-cheek so you can decide who is better for beer, Red
States, or Blue States... maybe both and maybe neither. Politics and politicians of current
and past have a long history with barley and hops; Chad will share this with you in a format
where learning is purely accidental! You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, you might even heckle at this
light-hearted and fun session because after all, “Everything you ever needed to know, you
learned from beer.”
