Episode Details

A Wisconsin brewery is facing shutdown after promising free beer to celebrate the President’s death — sparking a state license revocation set for August 4th. Owner Kirk Bangstad, a vocal progressive, blames political retaliation for the move, claiming his outspoken social media criticism of Republicans and beer labels tied to Democrats have triggered a boycott and state action. While authorities cite alleged interstate beer transport violations from a June raid, Bangstad dismisses it as a political hit against the “most progressive brewery” in Wisconsin. He also faced federal scrutiny after a social media post following a White House security breach hinted at “free beer day” and questioned “the Resistance’s” marksmanship — he denies any ties to violence. Despite the controversy, the brewery thrives with $2 million in sales and a loyal following, as Bangstad calls the crackdown “anti-American and anti-Wisconsin.”
