‘Progressive’ Wisconsin brewing company appears to promise ‘free beer all day long’ when Trump dies
The Minocqua Brewing Company in Wisconsin appeared to promote a deal for “free beer, all day long” on the day President Donald Trump dies in a post last week.
“Free beer, all day long, the day he dies. Show us this post when it happens in a few months and we’ll make good on that promise,” the “progressive beer” company wrote on Facebook on Thursday.
The company added, “update, we meant the Madison Taproom because that’s open all year, if he dies in the summer, then it’s gonna be the Minocqua Taproom.”
The Wisconsin business did not specifically reference Trump’s name, though several of the post’s two thousand comments assumed the post referred to the president.
In replies to commenters, the Minocqua Brewing Company again did not refer to Trump by name but suggested that the post alluded to a high-profile figure when asked whether the timeline for the deal could be moved up earlier.
“Well that’s up to you and your ability to act like a cia [sic] agent,” the company wrote.
The Minocqua Brewing Company’s social media also featured several posts opposing immigration enforcement and expressing support for a government shutdown to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding.
“Shutting down the government is unpopular politically, and will hurt marginalized folks in the short term, but it’s the best way to stop ICE before they can no longer be stopped. We must shut down the federal government now and suffer a little in order not suffer [sic] a LOT in the longer term,” one post read.
The company’s owner, Kirk Bangstad, is the founder of the Minocqua Brewing Company SuperPAC, which “aims to remove Republican federal and state elected officials who perpetuated the election lies that caused the Insurrection of January 6, 2021, and whose downplaying of the seriousness of COVID-19 caused so many unnecessary deaths in our country,” according to the company website.
In a comment to Fox News Digital, Bangstad said he would welcome anyone to the party to celebrate the “impending death of a twice-impeached convicted felon covering up for the largest child sex ring in the history of the United States—someone who has enabled his contemporary American Gestapo to brutally murder two American protesters in a matter of week.”

RHINELANDER (WJFW) — The Minocqua Brewing Company and the Lakeland Times are across the street from each other in Minocqua.
In June 2025, Minocqua Brewing Company owner Kirk Bangstad saw Lakeland Times owner Gregg Walker outside his business and started yelling profanities at him. Bangstad also showed a framed lewd depiction of Walker.

After the incident, Bangstad was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, harassment and bail jumping. That final charge was because he was ordered not to harass or intimidate Walker in relation to a different open case.
Bangstad was in Oneida County court Tuesday to face the charges against him and accept a plea deal.
Judge Martha Milanowski, of Vilas County, presided over the plea and sentencing hearing as Oneida County Judge Michael Schiek recused himself earlier in the case.
Judge Milanowski asked, “do you feel that you are entering your plea of your own free will?”
Bangstad responded, “Yes other than our justice system in Wisconsin is flawed, but yes.”
Bangstad’s response came with his lawyer Fred Melms working to keep Bangstad from saying more. While in court, Bangstad was given a chance to make a statement and spoke for three minutes.
He said, in part: “I felt today that I was caught between a justice system rock and a hard place. Because if I didn’t take this plea, which was very minor, but still besmirch my reputation, because I have to admit to disorderly conduct, even though I feel I was giving a political speech.”
Judge Milanowski accepted the plea dropping the bail jumping and harassment charges but found Bangstad guilty of disorderly conduct. Milanowski then moved on to sentencing.

She said: “Mr. Bangstad, I am going to — on the sole count of disorderly conduct order, that you pay a fine of $500 plus court costs, and that totals $1,083.”
In another case, Bangstad is actively suing members of the Oneida County Planning and Development Committee after his Minocqua Brewing Company’s permit was denied.
The worthless RPW headed by the inept Brian Schimming still has not called out his counterpart to denounce this scumbag.
Why hasnt there been a call from Tom Tiffany campaign for the gaggle of progressives running for governor to denounce this behavior? Why hasn’’t Eric Toney demanded Josh Kaul denounce MBC and owner’s vile incitement?
