Rocky Reef is a different place, and they have some good beers.  I've only been in there once but didn't notice anything remotely political.  I highly doubt they have any association with MBC other than being located nearby.

Rocky Reef is in Woodruff, not Minocqua, on Hwy 47 just east of 51, across the road from the lumberjack shows, and near the big Ace Hardware store. Not in any way, shape, or form affiliated with Bangstick... other than having the word "brewery" in their title.  

Bangstick's dump is on the island in Minocqua, a mile or more away.

Not going to waste space quoting MBC guy's insane, IMO, Charlie Kirk rant but, holy shit, if that is typical of leftist thinking (and judging from my stepmother's rants posted on Facebook, it IS typical), we on the right (in more ways than one!) need to be prepared for more crazy stuff from the enemy. This week's ICE shooting is another indication of what's out there.

MINOCQUA - The Minocqua Town Board unanimously rejected Kirk Bangstad’s administrative review permit (ARP) for Minocqua Brewing Company at its meeting on the 21st due to unpermitted outdoor seating. The board, noting Bangstad’s absence and history of permit violations, required the application to be resubmitted as a conditional use permit or CUP. Oneida County planning director Karl Jennrich, despite initially considering it an ARP, advised processing it as a CUP for the proposed “Elizabeth’s Art Garden” outdoor feature. Concerns were raised about parking waivers and Bangstad’s outstanding fines. The motion to reject the ARP passed unanimously.

I had a free 30 min or so this morning.  Curious, I went to the FB page because of this comment.  Holy shit...  I trolled the SHIT out of it with logic and common sense before all of my comments got deleted and I got blocked.  Lol!  These people really are sick.

This could be a disaster for him too. His business in Minocqua is rarely busy. It cannot survive on it's own, he relies on his grifting the liberals for donations to fight those evil northwoods redneck Republicans who revoked his license, to keep it open. He's been paying his staff from his PAC, calling their jobs at the brewery "organizing" for his PAC. Now that his fight for his business license is over... he doesn't need their "donations" anymore.

Doesn't he still owe on his City/County fines?  Plus I'd bet Gregg Walker is waiting for his check as well.

According to the "Back The Badge Wisconsin" Facebook page (no link or proof posted), they claim "The owner of Minocqua Brewing Company, Kirk Bangstad has been officially added to the FBI watch list for threats to Trump and Federal Agents".

No clue if it's true, but as unhinged as he is, it would not surprise me.

McFleishman's in Appleton is just as left, but not as crazy. Their beer is actually pretty good, but I won't ever go back or buy it again.
I visited the brewery and had to shower all the rainbow colors, BLM , resist, and Commie propaganda off of myself as soon as I got home.

But at least they know enough not to go full Bangstad.

I honestly think 96% of breweries are run by leftists. It just tends to draw that crowd (like most daycare teachers are women).  The smart ones keep politics out of their business.  The dumb ones are like Kirk.

If you are committed to drinking only beer made by conservatives, you better  become a homebrewer.

MINOCQUA - Minocqua Brewing Company owner Kirk Bangstad pleading guilty to a minor disorderly conduct charge in Oneida County, stemming from an incident last June, in which he yelled profanities and displayed a lewd depiction of Lakeland Times owner Gregg Walker outside his business. The original charges—harassment, bail jumping, and disorderly conduct—were dropped to a disorderly conduct conviction. Bangstad accepted the plea deal, telling Judge Martha Milanowski he pleaded guilty despite viewing his actions as "political speech". The court ordered Bangstad to pay a $1,083 fine. Bangstad is also currently suing the Oneida County Planning and Development Committee over a denied permit.

Just like Al Capone, you gotta pay your taxes.  

This is about the ONLY time I’m glad there’s a D in the Capitol.  Bangy can’t whine that Evers is part of some Republican witch hunt, though I’m sure he’ll try.

He claims it was just a "misunderstanding" regarding excise tax because his swill came from Illinois.  Riiiight.  What I find interesting is how he bad mouthed law enforcement about the whole deal.  His bullshit doesn't have an off switch.  Why do they keep calling his pathetic excuse for a business a "taproom"?  I don't believe there is a drop of beer flowing out of a tap there - if there even is a tap.

It will be awesome when he shuts down his money funneling Super PAC to the Dems that fucked him over. I always waited for that day.
And with all his current problems, it appears as if his recipients of his multi million dollar fund raising efforts have come after him for daring to go for the crown.

And now he is shutting it down and putting it all on the retarded Asian chick.

This is theater we dont have to pay for. Enjoy it.  It is going to get even more crazy from here.

MINOCQUA - The Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC has officially shut down. Founder Kirk Bangstad filed paperwork to terminate the political action committee on June 18 after spending its remaining funds on online advertising and consulting. Bangstad, known for his outspoken political activism, also failed to qualify for Wisconsin's gubernatorial ballot earlier this year. The PAC previously came under scrutiny after former employees alleged they were paid with political committee funds rather than through the brewery.

Our elected officials can convert any "unspent" political contributions in their war chests to personal income when they decline to run for re-election and retire from office. Sure, they have to claim it and pay state and federal income tax on it, but basically it's still "free" money. I always thought that was a legal form of money laundering.

He didn't deline to run for re-election or retire from office because he's never been elected to anything.

That was possibly his plan all along. Build it up, build it up, build it up some more, with all his theatrics ... then cash it in, like some 401K.
