A left-wing Wisconsin brewery is drawing outrage after publicly dangling the promise of unlimited alcohol the day President Donald Trump dies, turning its taproom into a platform for open celebration of a political opponents death.
According to Fox News, the Minocqua Brewing Company, which brands itself as a progressive beer outfit, posted a promotion on Facebook last week that left little doubt about its target. Free beer, all day long, the day he dies. Show us this post when it happens in a few months and well make good on that promise, the company wrote, prompting thousands of comments and renewed concern over the escalating dehumanization of conservatives in popular culture.
The brewery later clarified the logistics of its morbid promotion, specifying which of its locations would participate. The company added, update, we meant the Madison Taproom because thats open all year, if he dies in the summer, then its gonna be the Minocqua Taproom.
Although the post did not explicitly mention President Trump by name, social media users immediately interpreted the message as a reference to him. The Wisconsin business did not correct that assumption, even as several of the posts roughly two thousand comments treated the death of the 45th president as a foregone and welcome event.
In follow-up replies, the Minocqua Brewing Company again avoided naming Trump but strongly implied it was referring to a prominent national figure. When one commenter asked whether the timeline for the deal could be accelerated, the company responded, Well that's up to you and your ability to act like a cia [sic] agent.
The brewerys social media footprint reflects a broader far-left agenda that extends well beyond beer marketing. 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.
One post openly advocated using a shutdown of the federal government as a political weapon against border enforcement. 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.
Owner Kirk Bangstad has long used the brewery as a vehicle for partisan activism, including through his Minocqua Brewing Company SuperPAC. The group, according to the company website, 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.
In a comment to Fox News Digital, Bangstad escalated his rhetoric further, embracing the idea of a party to mark Trumps demise. He 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 Statessomeone who has enabled his contemporary American Gestapo to brutally murder two American protesters in a matter of week."
Bangstad added that his only political dress code for the event would be exclusionary toward Trump supporters. His only condition was that "no red hats allowed."
The Minocqua Brewing Company has built its brand around partisan labels such as Resistance Pilsner and Tammy Shandy, named after liberal Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin, underscoring its role as a vehicle for progressive politics rather than a neutral local business. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment, as conservatives continue to question how openly fantasizing about a presidents death has become acceptable discourse in some corners of the left.
