Wisconsin Brewery Faces License Revocation After Free Beer Offer Linked to Trump
Minocqua Brewing Company in Wisconsin faces revocation of its alcohol license by August 4, following the brewery's promotion of free beer on the day former President Donald Trump dies. Owner Kirk Bangstad, who describes the brewery as progressive, plans to legally challenge the state's decision and has appealed for financial support to cover legal fees. State officials cited minor infractions as the reason for the revocation, while Bangstad argues the action is disproportionate and vows to continue operating.
