The department told Fox News Digital in a statement Thursday that there is a hearing on the company's appeal on Nov. 18, and that the revocation does not take effect until appeals are done, adding that the "DOR is dedicated to fair and consistent enforcement of alcohol beverage regulations in Wisconsin and takes action when the laws are not followed, as occurred here."
Bangstad’s breweries have made headlines for offering free beer if President Trump dies.
On Jan. 22, the Minocqua Brewing Company appeared to suggest it would give free beer to patrons if Trump was killed, and while not explicitly using his name, posted on Facebook, "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 post continued.
asserted
post → tell → promise
The post was updated to say, "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."
In reply to comment on the post, the company also did not refer to Trump by name but said the message referred to a high-profile figure when asked whether the timeline for the deal could be moved up earlier.
