Minocqua Brewing Company, a Wisconsin beer producer, has vowed to fight a state decision to revoke three of its alcohol permits following the promise of free beer on the day President Donald Trump dies. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue notified the brewery on July 15 that it would revoke two brewer's permits for its Minocqua and Madison operations, along with an alcohol beverage warehouse permit, effective August 4.
The revocation stems from months of national attention due to the brewery's politically themed social media posts and allegations of licensing and tax violations. The company, however, maintains that it complied with Wisconsin law and disputes the allegations. The dispute has escalated to the point where Bangstad, the brewery's owner, has pledged to challenge the revocation in court and asks supporters to contribute to the brewery's legal defense fund.
