Wisconsin Brewery Launches Political 'Antifa Octoberfist' Beer
A Wisconsin brewery that recently promised free beer on the day Donald Trump dies is stirring trouble again with a new politically themed brew called "Antifa Octoberfist."
Minocqua Brewing Company announced the seasonal release via social media Wednesday, linking it directly to Abdul El-Sayed winning the Michigan Senate primary. The company stated they chose this timing because another member of ANTIFA had secured the Democratic nomination.

The label on the cans revisits an old question about punching Nazis and references Captain America while selling the beer.
"Now that another card-carrying member of ANTIFA has won the Democratic Primary in Michigan, we thought today would be a good day to announce that our seasonal Octoberfest is BACK--and it's call 'Antifa Octoberfist!'" the post read.

El-Sayed defeated Haley Stevens on Tuesday to take the nomination. The brewery then shared text from the back of the cans explaining their stance.
The message defines fascism as government led by a strong man who fetishizes power and uses violence against opposition. It claims America vanquished this evil in Germany seventy years ago with antifascist heroes known as antifa.

"Of course it's not OK to punch anyone, but it's patriotic as hell to raise your fist against fascism," the text stated. It urges drinkers to reject fascism's tenets and embrace democracy and freedom.

This latest move follows earlier outrage over plans for free beer when Trump died and a discount day after the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The brewery also announced half-price sales planned for Mitch McConnell's death on Monday.
Minocqua Brewing Company is currently fighting to keep its permit from being revoked.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported July 27 that Wisconsin's Department of Revenue sent a notice to Kirk Bangstad, the owner and liberal activist. Regulators said they planned to revoke his alcohol license after seizing beer in June. Authorities claimed the product moved from Illinois without proper permits or taxes paid.
Bangstad argued the proposed action was excessive since the alleged tax violations did not warrant shutting down his business. The revocation was set to take effect Tuesday, but a Department of Revenue spokesperson told Fox News Digital Monday that an administrative appeal stopped it for now.

The permit will remain in place pending the outcome of that appeal.
Fox News Digital reached out to Minocqua Brewing Company and El-Sayed for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
