A zoning committee has ordered a northern Wisconsin brewery that has supported Democrats to close its doors. Minocqua Brewing Company owner Kirk Bangstad says he's being punished for his liberal views. Among the beers the brewery offers are Evers Ale, named for Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, and Tammy Shandy, for U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin. Bangstad also runs a political action committee that raised more than $1 million during the 2022 campaign cycle. Wisconsin Public Radio reports an Oneida County zoning committee revoked the brewery's permit Wednesday after saying Bangstad violated prohibitions on outdoor sales.
