Minocqua Brewing Company - Progressive Company In Northern Wisconsin Shut Down By MAGATs [View all]

I'll say this as briefly as I can.... The Minocqua Brewing Company in northern Wisconsin is being targeted because they are a progressive voice in a sea of red bullshit. Earlier, they were at another location and had a huge Biden sign on their establishment. They were immediately attacked and targeted, and they moved to a new location, not far from their original location. The local government assholes said they were not following the local codes, regulations, etc. They are the ONLY local company being targeted; others are doing things not up to regulations, but are being left alone... nothing to see there. When the owner, Kirk Bangstad, wanted to make his voice heard before the meeting to unjustly shut him down, they refused to let him talk, or anyone else in support. Minocqua is a major tourism destination in northern Wisconsin, and they are doing this at the height of the tourism season, majorly affecting his business. Mr. Bangstad is suing Oneida County and the town of Minocqua in an effort to stop this. His Facebook page has a Go Fund Me set up to help with legal expenses. This really should have some national exposure in my opinion.
