Wisconsin brewery's alcohol permit revoked after 'free beer' promotion tied to Trump's death
State officials say the company violated shipping and tax laws, while Bangstad says the revocation is politically motivated and plans to fight it.
- Wisconsin's Department of Revenue issued notices revoking permits for two Minocqua Brewing Company locations and one warehouse permit, with the revocation scheduled to take effect on Aug. 4 unless the brewery successfully appeals.
- State officials said the enforcement action stems from alleged alcohol regulatory violations, including claims that beer was transported into Wisconsin from Illinois without the required permits and taxes, while the brewery disputes the allegations and says the response is excessive.
- Brewery owner Kirk Bangstad said he intends to challenge the revocation through the appeals process, stating that the business will continue operating while any appeal is pending and seeking financial support for legal expenses.
- The brewery has received national attention for social media posts that appeared to promise free beer upon President Donald Trump's death, posts that have drawn criticism and renewed scrutiny alongside the permit dispute.
