Minocqua Brewing Co., a brewery in Wisconsin, faces possible closure after state officials revoke its alcohol permits. Multiple outlets report the revocation is linked to alleged violations involving the brewery’s operations.
According to the reports, the state’s action follows scrutiny that includes claims about issues related to how alcohol is transported and potential tax-related compliance problems. The brewery’s Madison-area taproom is specifically mentioned as potentially being affected, with one report suggesting closure could occur by the end of the year.
The coverage also notes the brewery became widely known for an earlier promotion offering free beer contingent on the death of former President Donald Trump. While outlets focus primarily on the permit revocation, they frame the shutdown risk differently—some emphasize the license loss and likely timing, while others stress the nature of the alleged regulatory violations cited by the state. No source in the provided text indicates the brewery has been cleared or that the violations have been resolved.
