“Free beer, all day long the day he dies,” the post said. “Show us this post when it happens in a few months and we’ll make good on that promise.” The post was later updated to clarify, “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.”

After shots were fired while Trump was present at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in April, the brewery’s Facebook said, “Well, we almost got #freebeerday.”

That one "waow based" meme

Very poor article. Fuck Trump, hope he dies tomorrow. But I'm also not willing to give a business owner an automatic pass just because they're on my side.

No where in this article do they actually list WHY their alcohol permit is being revoked. What exactly are they being accused of? Because I could absolutely see some slimy owner with a rat-infested kitchen latching onto politics as a means of shielding their crooked operation. "I'm innocent, they're just trying to silence me!"

Is it possible this is politically motivated? Sure. But the fact that they never actually list the specific reasons why the permit is revoked is damning.

The whole concept of an alcohol license is insane and hilarious.

Something about not paying taxes

Bangstad provided a chart explaining what violations were allegedly in the document from the DOR. Those include unauthorized running of a retail outlet, violation of shipping laws and untaxed beer possession in an unpermitted warehouse.

What exactly are they being accused of?

probably inciting violence against Dear Leader.
