MINOCQUA - Minocqua Brewing Company’s Kirk Bangstad has had another setback in his battle to open an outdoor beer garden at this establishment. A federal district judge last week denied Bangstad’s request for an injunction that would have prevented Oneida County from denying his request to reinstate a conditional use permit. U.S. District Court judge for the Western District of Wisconsin, James Peterson ruled that Bangstad had not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of the case, which one of the criteria required to grant an injunction.

Every day he is open for business is another fine. Each fine is $452.50. He has been open 24 days so far AFAIK... every thurs-sun for past 6 weeks. Fines so far will total $10,860. His next scheduled court date is June 16th.

MINOCQUA - Last week, the Oneida County Planning and Development Committee once again denied Kirk Bangstad’s application for a conditional use permit or CUP to open a beer garden at his Minocqua Brewing Company. While Bangstad’s attorney proffered argument that he was almost fulfilling the conditions of a previous CUP that had been revoked, committee chairman Scott Holewinski said he and the committee were not concerned about the technical details of the process, but rather that Bangstad had repeatedly refused to comply with past and current regulations, violating every permit he’s been issued and violating in the present, as he is open and conducting business without a permit and openly flaunting the fact on social media. Bangstad was not present at the meeting and at the end of it all, the committee said he did not have a conditional use permit and was therefore in violation of county ordinance.

Eyewitness account of what he, and his customers, did to get arrested last friday. This was on Reddit. He has a "no contact" restraining order agaist him, filed by the newspaper owner he was heckling. Anyone who aids him or joins in his violating of the order is guilty also. That's why the 5 customers got arrested also... they're libturd wackos like Kirk.

Investigative Reporter


Minocqua Brewing Company owner Kirk Bangstad has posted a cash bond in Oneida County circuit court after being charged with two misdemeanors — disorderly conduct and bail-jumping — for a disturbance at his Front Street location last Friday, in which six others at the scene were also arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. According to the police report by Minocqua police office Jarrett Radmer, Bangstad engaged in indecent, profane, boisterous, unreasonably loud, and otherwise disorderly conduct as he and others at his establishment hurled profanities at Lakeland Times publisher Gregg Walker as Walker left the newspaper office for the day. Bangstad holds up a framed faked pornographic rendering of Walker and Holmes (pixelation added), the same image that led to Bangstad’s arrest for criminal defamation when he posted it to Facebook.

The Times is located across the street near the Minocqua Brewing Company and in full view of the Minocqua Brewing Company. Walker did not respond to the tirade. The bail-jumping arises from alleged violations of his bond conditions on a criminal defamation charge Bangstad is facing for publishing a fake photo of Walker and Times’ general manager Heather Holmes in a pornographic rendering. That case is open and, under the terms of the bond in that case, Bangstad is not to commit any crime or to, directly or indirectly, threaten, harass, intimidate, or otherwise interfere with Walker or Holmes. Those conditions also prohibit Bangstad from issuing any threats against Holmes or Walker that would intimidate them as witnesses in that case.

At the June 30 hearing, Oneida County circuit judge Michael Schiek also recused himself from the case — as he did in the criminal defamation case — because of his relationship to the earlier case. A Michigan man allegedly threatened the judge over Bangstad’s criminal defamation arrest.

In this case, Bangstad posted a bond of $1,150. Conviction of the misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge could bring a prison sentence of not more than 90 days or a $1,000 fine, or both. The bail-jumping charge is more serious. Conviction could draw a nine-month prison sentence, or a $10,000 fine, or both. Finally, Bangstad was charged with a harassment forfeiture, a citation.

Arrested and charged with disorderly conduct along with Bangstad were Matthew Haugen, Daniel Boggs, Douglas Nelson, Matthew Johnson, Allison Johnson, and Libby Nelson. All were transported to the Minocqua Police Department and then to the Oneida County jail.

How the scene unfolded

Minocqua dispatch received a call from Walker at about 5 p.m. on Friday, June 27, Radmer’s report states, during which Walker informed the dispatcher that he was outside his office and that Bangstad and other customers were harassing him from across the street, and yelling profanities like “f — g a — hole.” Bangstad and other customers were looking at Walker while yelling the profanities, Radmer’s report states. When Radmer arrived on the scene, the report stated, Walker said Bangstad had started the communication toward Walker, and the other customers then joined in. Radmer said Walker pointed out multiple people who were yelling profanities.

But Walker wasn’t the only one allegedly being disturbed. “While speaking with Walker, a male walked over to me from across the street,” Radmer reported. “The male was coming from a residence right next to the Minocqua Brewing Company. The male was asking what was going to be done about the loud and profane comments Bangstad and his customers were making.” The person said those who lived in the house would be filing a police complaint. “The male was upset about the situation, and I advised the male to not go over to the Minocqua Brewing Company and confront anyone,” the report states.

While the neighbor was walking back to the house, Radmer reported that he observed Bangstad still speaking at a loud volume. Bangstad was also holding up a picture, Radmer observed, though he stated he could not see the details of the picture from his position. Radmer requested back-up from the county sheriff’s department because there was a large crowd at the Minocqua Brewing Company. Throughout the incident, Radmer said Walker remained quiet. “At no time while I was on scene did I observe Walker engage in any contact with Bangstad or his customers,” the report stated. “Walker only pointed out individuals to me.”

Other interviews

Radmer also interviewed the neighboring resident. The resident of the house was about to go to the police department to file a complaint about the loud and profane activity coming from the Minocqua Brewing Company, Radmer reported. “[The neighbor] had been home for approximately 45 minutes and since [the neighbor] was at home, Bangstad had been screaming,” Radmer reported the neighbor as stating. “[The neighbor] said about five minutes before I arrived, Bangstad had started to say ‘awful’ things like ‘go f — k yourself,’ across the street towards Walker. [The neighbor] said the customers at the Minocqua Brewing Company were flipping off [the neighbor], who was inside [the] residence, because [the neighbor] was recording them on [the neighbor’s] phone.”

The neighbor reported that, while passing the Minocqua Brewing Company at about 4:40 p.m., the neighbor spotted Bangstad at the establishment; more people than usual seemed to be congregated there, too, the neighbor reported, and Bangstad seemed to be “extra riled up.” Once home, Bangstad and the customers got progressively louder, the neighbor reported to Radmer. The neighbor reported that Bangstad was yelling so loud it was as if he were right outside the window: “[The neighbor] said no doors or windows were open at [the] residence,” the report stated. Soon, another relative of the neighbor arrived and started blowing leaves with a leaf blower to try and drown out the noise coming from the Minocqua Brewing Company.

“When [the neighbor’s relative] turned off the leaf blower, [the neighbor] looked out [the] living room window and saw everyone at the Minocqua Brewing Company pointing and yelling across the street at Walker,” Radmer’s report states. “[The neighbor] stated, ‘Kirk and the crowd were yelling every curse word to exist at Gregg [Walker].’ [The neighbor] then called the police department. After [the neighbor] got off the phone with a dispatch, [the neighbor] started to video tape Bangstad for evidence of what was happening.”

At that point, Radmer continued, Bangstad held up a large, framed picture to the crowd of what the neighbor called “the most awful picture of Gregg Walker.” “This is when the crowd at the Minocqua Brewing Company saw [the neighbor] recording them and the customers started flipping [the neighbor] off,” the report states. “[The neighbor] then stopped recording and went outside because I then arrived to speak with [the neighbor].” Radmer said he reviewed the neighbor’s video, and, at the start of the video, Bangstad was holding a framed picture. “I recognized the picture as one Bangstad had previously posted on his Facebook page,” the report stated. “The picture was of Walker which led to Bangstad’s arrest for criminal defamation [the fake pornographic rendering of Walker and Holmes], which is his open misdemeanor court case …... Then in the video, there are two older females who wave at [the neighbor] recording and then both females laugh and flip off [the neighbor].”

Next, Radmer reports, Bangstad turned around and faced Walker across the street. “Bangstad then yells towards Walker, ‘Hey, go f — k yourself,’” the report states. “The next video [the neighbor] took shows Bangstad and his customers again. At the start of the second video, Bangstad is explaining the framed photo he was holding up.” Bangstad then read what was written in the photo, Radmer reports. “Bangstad then said, ‘this is this guy right here’ and pointed at Walker across the street,” the report states. “The video then ends.”

Officer observations

While waiting for back-up, Radmer had some observations of his own, one of which was that multiple people started leaving the Minocqua Brewing Company.
“Traffic was busy and noisy on the highway, but I could still hear Bangstad and his customers yelling profanities and directing some towards Walker,” the report stated.
At that point, Radmer reported, Oneida County sheriff’s deputies arrived. “Due to the numerous customers engaging in unreasonably loud, indecent, profane, and boisterous conduct, I advised the customers at the Minocqua Brewing Company that no one was free to leave until the investigation was complete or otherwise released by an officer,” Radmer stated. “Bangstad immediately walked up to me and said I was live on camera. I informed Bangstad I was standing in the area for a while and that he has been yelling over there (towards Walker). Bangstad said ‘yeah.’”

A sheriff’s deputy walked up to Bangstad and informed him that he was going to the deputy’s car, to which Bangstad said he wasn’t going, Radmer reported. The two officers then attempted to handcuff Bangstad because he was in violation of his bail conditions, Radmer reported. “Bangstad’s arms were tense, and he manipulated his arms to make it difficult to place handcuffs on him,” the report stated. “Bangstad was advised he was being detained. Bangstad was still tense and was pulling, Bangstad was told to stop resisting. Once the handcuffs were on, Bangstad was escorted to [the] squad car.” Radmer reported finding three more who had engaged in disorderly conduct and they were arrested. Walker pointed out three more, and they were arrested for disorderly conduct as well.

In addition to the neighbors and to Walker, Radmer reported that customers at the Bottled Bean could see the boisterous behavior as it happened. “The Bottled Bean was open during the time of the disturbance,” Radmer wrote. “The Bottled Bean was busy with many people sitting outside. There were multiple children playing in the grass in front of the Bottled Bean while Bangstad and the other involved customers of the Minocqua Brewing Company were yelling profanities at Walker. Many customers at the Bottled Bean were looking over at the Minocqua Brewing Company while I was on scene due to the loud and profane conduct.” The disturbance caused at the Minocqua Brewing Company not only disturbed Walker, but also the next-door residence and the customers and children at the Bottled Bean, Radmer wrote.

Court appearance

In court at the June 30 initial appearance, Schiek ordered Bangstad to have no contact with Walker, with Holmes, or with the neighbors next to the Minocqua Brewing Company. Schiek also recused himself from the case, given that last October a Michigan man was arrested for allegedly threatening both Schiek and Walker with injury or harm via computer after getting “worked up” about Bangstad’s arrest for criminal defamation. Bangstad pleaded not guilty, and bond was set at $1,150.

After Schiek imposed the “no contact” condition on the bond, Bangstad’s attorney, Fred Melms (no association with Melms, Hogan & Francois law firm), raised what he called a number of First Amendment implications. For one thing, Melms said, Walker’s business is right across the street from the Minocqua Brewing Company, which he said Bangstad used as a staging area for his political activism. “Given that that’s a place that Mr. Bangstad uses functionally for the purposes of political rallying and organizing, it [the no-contact condition] would almost function as a prior restraint because it would keep him away from the place where he does his organizing and engages in much of his First Amendment protected activity,” Melms said.

Schiek said the order meant no contact with the people in the order. “That just means he can’t talk to him [Walker], phone him,” the judge said. “So those are very standard conditions.” Schiek said during the last hearing there had been discussion about barring Bangstad from internet activity but, as then, he wasn’t going to go there. “There’s just going to be no contact with those two individuals, and there were also the neighbors that were named,” he said. Melms asked that the bond specify that Bangstad would be allowed to be at his Front Street business. “I can certainly see a situation where one of the neighbors would feel being there is contact and then we’ll have another situation where 10 law enforcement officers would show up,” he said. Schiek said it would all be figured out. “He can be at his place of employment or his business and at his own property,” the judge said. “He can be on his property, and there’s going to be maybe some inconsequential contact. They might be in the yard, he might be over there. He just can’t speak to them, to contact them individually. If they have incidental contact. I don’t think that’s going to be a violation.”

Melms said Bangstad wanted to know if this would impact his ability to get a permit to organize a protest against the newspaper.
Schiek said he wasn’t getting into any of that “stuff.”

I remember this religious group which always came to campus when I was in college.  They attacked drugs, drinking, fornicators, etc.  Basically, everything college kids love.  I learned later that they were in some group that thought you got extra points with god if you were attacked or abused for preaching.

Kirk Bangstad often reminds me of those scolds.  As best I can figure, more performance art and arrests translates to more donations.

Restraining order issued against him - related to the arrest last week for harassment.  Because the victim works directly across the street, and Mr. Bangstad can't go within 300 feet of the victim, he's now not allowed in his own brewery. At least while that guy is at work.

N. WISCONSIN - A northern Wisconsin judge has denied Lakeland Times publisher Gregg Walker’s harassment restraining order request against Minocqua Brewing Company owner Kirk Bangstad, the latest in a multi-year dispute between the 2 men. The judge deemed Bangstad’s conduct “outrageous” and “bullying” but an isolated incident not meeting injunction criteria. Vilas County Judge Martha Milanowski, after Oneida County Judge Michael Schiek recused himself, had previously issued a temporary restraining order against Bangstad following a June 27 incident where Bangstad and others at his business verbally abused Walker. Bangstad faces two misdemeanors—disorderly conduct and bail-jumping—for the disturbance, which also drew a complaint from neighbors. Bangstad’s bond prohibited threats against Walker. Neighbors had reported inappropriate conduct by Bangstad and others in the MBC beer garden before Walker reported the harassment, for which Bangstad also received a forfeiture.
Bangstad also faces legal troubles with Oneida County regarding his Minocqua business that Bandstad claims is politically based.

Not true, that's his bullshit propaganda saying he's not allowed on his own property. In the temporary restraining order, it specified that his own property (address given) was an exception to the 300' rule.

The permanent restraining order against Bangstik was denied. The reason given by the judge was that by law, a restraining order can only be issued on someone who has demonstrated a 'pattern' of harrassing, physical behavior. The incident that sparked the temp order was an isolated incident, not a pattern. However, the judge noted with a warning, that if it happens again, that will establish a pattern, and she would most certainly rule differently next time. It's only a matter of time...that asshole just cannot contain himself.

I ironically followed his Facebook page just for laughs.  The amount of shit talking he does on FB with his little sheep customers nodding along in agreement is hilarious.  100% delusion is the order of the day.

Of course he posted about "how he beat the man in court" and "how crooked everyone is".  Missing was the part where he is just a bail jumping scum bag that operates a PAC that he uses the money for his own ends.  One of these days he will lip off and touch the wrong person because he thinks he can do no wrong and he gets his ass kicked.

Just out of curiosity I visited MBC's Facebook page after yesterday's murder.
Yep, bunch of fucking sickos.

Kirks latest tweet in response to Charlies assassination just went viral.

Minocqua Brewing Company

Hi folks,
Kirk here from the Minocqua Brewing Company. I had a draft already written for today’s post, but I threw it out because I wanted to write about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Here goes…
Every time a kid got killed over the last 20 years in school shooting, my heart broke a little.
Every time I heard the twisted lie that guns weren’t the problem by every right-wing talking head immediately after a school shooting, my broken heart hardened a little.
When it comes to finding empathy for a guy whose purported mission was to manipulate our kids to embrace hate, along with teaching them to double down on gun-lust after every mass shooting, I simply don’t have it.
My heart is hard for men like Charlie Kirk simply because I spend all my empathetic reserves trying to keep it soft for folks who are hurting because of men like Charlie Kirk.
So Fuck Charlie Kirk. Thoughts and prayers. Fix our guns laws DESPITE the fact that he wanted them broken. He didn’t deserve to die, just like all those kids didn’t deserve to die. Time to move on. His assassination is only worth about 6 sentences of my time.
I choose to spend my energy fighting for an America where men like Charlie Kirk are pushed back into their basements because Christian nationalistic bigotry is no longer socially acceptable.
That’s why I sell progressive beer.
That’s why I created the Minocqua Marketplace, which gives businesses who refuse to support right-wing extremism a platform to thrive, and gives consumers a way to collectively starve fascism.
That’s why I’ve built two taprooms in Wisconsin that encourage progressives with only a little empathy left to give to fill each other’s buckets with hope and art.
That’s why I raise money for my Super PAC--so we can throw sand in the gears of ICE and buy enough time to beat back fascism in the 2026 election.
That’s where I choose to spend my time. And that choice is what keeps my now-compartmentalized heart a little softer.
Here’s what’s going on in the next two weeks at our Madison Tap Room. Our Minocqua Tap Room is open until Oct. 5th, because we close after the tourism season dies down. Please join us to fill your buckets with hope and art.
9/11 Old Soul Jazz Band 7pm
A newer band, Old Soul Jazz Band has played the Jazz Jam at The North St. Cabaret as well as Harmony Bar with Gaines and Wagoner.
A soulful blend of jazz, roots, and fiddle, Old Soul joins us for what should be a great evening of music!
9/14 Feestet Duo 2pm
Feestet loves to introduce jazz sounds into new spaces. New fans often say: “I don’t like jazz much, but I loved that!" Thus, Feestet dubs their sound “gateway jazz.”
Feetet’s mission is to create jazz music loved by all: jazz lovers and new listeners alike. We take inspiration from funk, folk, bebop, swing, bossa and allllll that jazz.
9/15 Karaoke w/ Tony G 6pm
9/17 The Up North Podcast Live Show Starts at 6 pm
Join our Substack gang—Kirk Bangstad, MBC organizer Amy Thomas, Patti Vasquez, Ben Cominos, AFT President Jon Shelton, and Senator Chris Larsen in the political podcast that has been on hiatus for the last two years.
9/18 Pinhead McFly 7pm
After a great set in July, Pinhead McFly, local musician Tim Budziszewski's alter ego, returns to MBC MAD. Playing a mix of covers and originals, McFly brings acoustic music with a decidedly punk tinge to our taproom.
9/20 Bluegrass Jam w/ Willie Jones 2pm
Willie Jones from Madison-based grass band, Sortin' The Mail, will be hosting a monthly bluegrass jam at our taproom!
This jam will be a little different than your standard. While we will never tell a musician how to do their job, our only request was "fun, uptempo, and different". While we love standards and traditional old-timey, we want our jam sessions to be a little more of a broad array of styles.
Each jam will start with a set of tunes from Willie (and possibly some special guests!) followed by an open jam for anyone who has a tune they wanna share or is just looking to rock out. So come join us for a great afternoon of pickin' and grinnin'!
9/21 Oktoberfest German Lieder w/ Kirk Bangstad 2pm
I’ll be singing Mahler’s Rückert Lieder, along with selections from Wolf, Schuman, and Schubert.  Joining me on piano is the incomparable Susan Gaeddert.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for sticking with the Minocqua Brewing Company.
Together, we must keep our hearts soft for those who suffer, but put our emotional suit of armor on to defend Democracy.

The thing that makes me chuckle is that those little minions that support that POS don't even know they're being scammed by him.  Serves them right.

But it is the Rocky Reef now?

I think Rocky Reef is an actual brewery where they know what they are doing and have a legitimate business - since 2015, while the bozo at Minocqua hasn't a clue and doesn't even brew beer.  I doubt Rocky Reef would touch Bangstick with a 10' pole.
