A progressive owner of a Wisconsin brewery says he will fight “tooth and nail” after his alcohol permit was revoked.

Kirk Bangstad says the state’s Department of Revenue is revoking the permit for Minocqua Brewing Co. to operate at its two locations.

‘They’ll have to pry me out of my taprooms before I stop selling beer to thirsty progressives who come to visit us.’

Bangstad’s brewery has made headlines for its anti-Trump posts that included a promotion offering free beer whenever President Donald Trump dies.

“As you can imagine, I’m not taking this lying down,” the business owner wrote in a Substack post Sunday. “We’re going to fight the state of Wisconsin tooth and nail, and once again, they’ll have to pry me out of my taprooms before I stop selling beer to thirsty progressives who come to visit us.”

He went on to ask for donations to the brewery’s legal defense fund.

“As usual, fighting to keep my business alive means I have to pay lawyers, and that’s never cheap,” he added. “Every time this [happens], I rack up $100K in legal bills before we even see a judge. If you can help chip in to the Minocqua Company’s legal defense fund, I’d really appreciate it.”

The beer license revocations for the two locations in Madison and Minocqua will go into effect on Aug. 4.

A spokesperson for the Wisconsin Department of Revenue told Fox News Digital the brewery could file an appeal.

“We can confirm that the Department of Revenue has issued notice of a Brewer’s permit revocation for two Minocqua Brewing Company locations and notice of an Alcohol Beverage Warehouse permit revocation for one location,” the spokesperson said.

“The business has until August 4th to appeal and can operate during the appeal process,” the spokesperson continued. “Should the business decide to appeal, the next step would be to appeal to the Secretary of the Department of Revenue, who will assign the appeal to a Department of Revenue hearing examiner for their recommendations as to proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law.”

Fox News Digital said Bangstad declined to comment directly about the report but made jokes about the death of Trump and Mitch McConnell and insulted Fox.

A prestigious art academy in northern Michigan released an independent report that concluded there were 70 incidents of sexual conduct with their students by 47 abusers over many decades.

The harrowing 100-page report from the Interlochen Center for the Arts says one of the abusers was Jeffrey Epstein, who was a donor at the center and was later convicted of pedophilia.

The incidents were described as physical conduct of a sexual nature and involved adults who were given access to students and campers.

The report relied on 180 interviews of alums from the center, which is a boarding school and summer camp. They reported dozens of incidents both at the center and off campus.

Most of the alleged incidents occurred before 2000, and about a third of the accused abusers have since passed away.

The incidents were described as physical conduct of a sexual nature and involved adults who were given access to students and campers.

Two of the alums reported physical conduct of a sexual nature with Epstein. He was a donor to the center from 1990 until 2003 and had attended as a teen.

The center commissioned the investigation two years ago. Only five abusers’ names were released, and they are all dead or previously accused of abuse. The school has provided all of the names to the Grand Traverse County Prosecutor’s Office for review.

Trey Devey, the president of the center, released a statement along with the report.

“The abuse described in the report is heartbreaking and is contrary to everything Interlochen stands for,” he wrote. “We are grateful to everyone who came forward to share their experiences, and we are deeply sorry for the harm experienced by members of our community. We also want to say clearly: Interlochen will not tolerate predators or those who enable them. Our campus exists to protect, educate, and empower every student.”

Board chair Barrett Rollins also released a statement.

“Student safety is a bedrock requirement and fundamental responsibility of this institution,” Rollins wrote.

“We recognize that the steps we have taken cannot erase harm that occurred,” he added, “but we hope they demonstrate our commitment to honoring those who came forward and to creating a safer future for all who are part of the Interlochen community.”

A building that was donated to the center by Epstein was demolished in June.

The woke backlash against WNBA player Sophie Cunningham defending women in sports has seemingly morphed into fury against two teenage girls who held up a sign at a game Tuesday in Seattle, where the Seattle Storm were taking on Cunningham’s Indiana Fever.

The sign read, “Thank you Sophie for speaking up for girls!” and the girls wore shirts from the XX-XY athletics brand that promotes opposition to biological males in women’s sports.

‘We weren’t trying to be political. We were just trying to support Sophie.’

“We were being super respectful. We were just holding our signs and cheering for both teams,” one of the teens said to investigative journalist Brandi Kruse.

The teens said an older lady confronted them, told them that “Jesus loves everyone,” and then called them “f**king insane” while pointing to her head.

“For you to come here and pull this s**t,” she reportedly added.

Kruse posted video on social media of her interview with the girls from outside the Seattle Storm arena. Kruse also identified the culprit as Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton.

“One of them was left in tears,” Kruse said of the girls. “I tried to get security involved and was told I should email the front office.”

One of the teens said she was shocked by the co-owner’s behavior.

“She’s also a woman, and she just kinda cussed out two 16-year-olds that were just trying to have fun. We weren’t trying to be political. We were just trying to support Sophie,” she added.

The team responded to reports of the incident with a statement from majority owner Ginny Gilder.

“We are aware one of our co-owners made comments to two fans in attendance at last night’s game,” the statement reads. “We apologize that this happened. Everyone who attends a Storm game deserves to feel welcome, and we remain committed to creating an inclusive environment where every fan is treated with respect.”

Kruse asked one of the teens to sum up her takeaway from the incident.

“Maybe we’re not being very hateful, and maybe they should work on being more kind to people, even though our opinions differ,” she said. “Because we were being respectful and kind people, and I don’t care if you think something else. It’s your opinion, but obviously she was not happy.”

Kruse said she would continue to investigate the incident.

“As usual, the people preaching ‘love and inclusion’ prove to be the most hateful bigots of all. I will have much more … and none of the culprits will be spared my fury,” she added.

The Fever beat the Storm, 105-95.
