"Minocqua Brewing Company's Operating Permit Revoked Amid Allegations of Political Vendetta"
The Minocqua Brewing Company in Wisconsin has had its operating permit revoked by an Oneida County zoning committee, following a long-standing battle over local zoning rules. The dispute involved parking regulations and a contested plan to open an outdoor beer garden. The owner, Kirk Bangstad, claims that he is being targeted due to his liberal political views. Bangstad has vowed to appeal the decision and remain open as long as possible. He operates the Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC, which has purchased billboard ads attacking Republican politicians.
