Wisconsin authorities move toward revoking Minocqua Brewing Co.’s alcohol permit after the brewery publicly promoted an offer of free beer contingent on President Donald Trump’s death. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue has issued a notice stating it intends to revoke the company’s permit. Fox News reports that the brewing company’s owner, Kirk Bangstad, says he will challenge the decision. The planned revocation is set to take effect Aug. 4, according to Fox News. The Washington Times similarly reports that the Department of Revenue’s notice targets Minocqua Brewing Co. and frames the dispute around the brewery’s prior promotional statement that it would provide free beer on the day Trump dies. Neither outlet provides details on the specific legal basis for the permit revocation beyond the Department of Revenue’s stated intent to revoke the permit. Both accounts indicate that the brewery is preparing to respond through a process to contest the revocation before it takes effect.
