Yes, the situation works. The fact that the first two logicians say “I don’t know” means they do want beer but they are unsure if everyone wants beer. The last logician knows this and can say “yes” at the end. If either of the first two logicians did not want beer they would also know that by definition it would mean “everyone wants beer” would be false and so they would have just said “no”.
