Wisconsin revokes Minocqua Brewing licenses; owner vows fight

Wisconsin regulators revoked two Minocqua Brewing Company Brewer's permits and one Alcohol Beverage Warehouse permit, effective Aug. 4, after enforcement actions tied to permit compliance and a June seizure of beer over alleged unpermitted interstate transport and unpaid taxes; the company, which also operates in Madison, can appeal to the Department of Revenue and, if needed, to a hearing examiner with the Secretary of Revenue overseeing the process, and may continue to operate during the appeal. Owner Kirk Bangstad vows to fight the decision 'tooth and nail' and has drawn attention for controversial anti-Trump posts, including a 'free beer' promotion tied to Trump’s death.
