Outrage as US brewing company appears to promise ‘free beer all day long’ when Trump dies

By ALYSSA GUZMAN, US NEWS REPORTER

Published: | Updated:

A Wisconsin brewing company is facing backlash after apparently offering free beer on the day that President Donald Trump dies. 

Minocqua Brewing Company took to Facebook to offer ‘free beer, all day long, the day he dies’ on January 22. 

Many have speculated the openly anti-Trump establishment is referring to the 79-year-old President. 

‘Show us this post when it happens in a few months and we’ll make good on that promise,’ wrote the company, which is owned by Kirk Bangstad. 

Although the post garnered thousands of fan reactions from people saying they will be at the event, others were horrified the company would preemptively celebrate someone’s death. 

‘Wishing death on anyone is disgusting,’ one user wrote. ‘This is why us moderates can’t stand on the side of the left. It’s unfortunate.’

Another wrote: ‘Guys, please: careful what you say. 

‘I’m still rooting for your business. I love what you’re doing. Taking the risk for the righteous. But between the implications of sponsoring someone dying with product, and the person who takes over if that happens, I don’t think much good would become of it if it happened.’ 

Minocqua Brewing Company, owned by Kirk Bangstad, offered their customers free beer ‘the day he dies’ – which many took to mean the President

The establishment has been known to be openly anti-Trump

‘Show us this post when it happens in a few months and we’ll make good on that promise,’ the company wrote on Facebook

A third wrote: ‘Leave it to the party if peace and love to wish death upon someone. Y’all are wild.’ 

‘You can all eat s**t and move out of this beautiful country,’ another wrote. ‘Sense [sic] you all think it’s so bad.’  

But the company did not take the negativity too harshly, as they have replied to detractors and criticized journalists who went to them for comment.

In a public response to Fox and Blaze News, the company posted the journalists’ email addresses and phone numbers, and encouraged their followers to send them correspondence. 

‘Please help him [the journalist] with his “gotcha” state-sponsored propaganda by emailing him your own quote,’ they wrote in a Facebook post.

In response to Fox News, they publicly posted: ‘Who knew that Faux News would still write this story after we went viral mocking them in response to their cynical request for a quote about our “celebration of life” free beer party the MOMENT he dies.

‘Thanks, Fox, you’ve done wonders for our sales in the last few days. Keep covering this story and we’ll be able to pour that much more free beer when his blood clot finally moves.’ 

In a separate post, they wrote: ‘Little did they know that we eat fake reviews for breakfast and had one last surprise for them waiting in the wings.’ 

In a January 26 post, Minocqua Brewing Company said their anti-Trump activism has ‘made it harder to sell beer.’ But since news outlets started covering it, sales have spiked 

Although the post garnered thousands of fan reactions from people saying they’ll make the event, others were horrified the company would preemptively celebrate someone’s death 

In a January 26 post, Minocqua Brewing Company said their harsh anti-Trump stance has ‘made it harder to sell beer.’ 

‘We’ve been boycotted by distributors in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois – so we rely on a ragtag crew of supporters to help us self-distribute in those three states,’ the company said.

However, in a new post yesterday, the company said their sales have spiked since news outlets started covering the story. 

The company is also now selling Trump voodoo dolls, including some wearing a striped fabric that is supposed to be reminiscent of a prison uniform. 

It also sells an ‘eff ICE’ hoodie. The profits go toward the funding of their podcast and Substack.
