  • The Wisconsin Department of Revenue is set to revoke the alcohol permit for Minocqua Brewing Company by 4 August.
  • Owner Kirk Bangstad, a liberal activist, claims the move is politically motivated due to his outspoken anti- Trump stance.
  • The brewery previously garnered attention for social media posts suggesting free beer would be offered upon the death of a prominent political figure.
  • Bangstad plans to challenge the decision, urging supporters to donate to a legal defence fund to fight the state.
  • The Department of Revenue confirmed the revocation notices for two brewery locations and an alcohol beverage warehouse, stating the business can operate during the appeal process until 4 August.
