A brewing company in Wisconsin is under fire after announcing an unusual promotion involving free beer on the day former President Donald Trump passes away.
Minocqua Brewing Company shared their provocative offer on Facebook on January 22, promising “free beer, all day long, the day he dies.”
The post, which many believe targets the 79-year-old Trump, comes from the brewery known for its anti-Trump stance.
Owner Kirk Bangstad encouraged followers to present the post when the time comes, vowing to honor the commitment.
While the announcement received enthusiastic responses from some fans eager to partake in the event, it also sparked outrage from others who found the celebration of a person’s death distasteful.
One commenter expressed their disapproval, stating, “Wishing death on anyone is disgusting. This is why we moderates can’t align with the left. It’s truly 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.’

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,’ 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 didn’t take the negativity too harshly, as they’ve 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, it has 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 outlet 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.
