Minocqua Brewing Company — a craft brewery in Wisconsin that apparently brews its IPAs with pure, uncut Trump Derangement Syndrome — decided to celebrate the assassination attempt on President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner by offering free beer.
Free beer. To celebrate a guy trying to murder the President. These people are genuinely broken.
The promotion went up on social media and went viral almost instantly — but not the way Minocqua Brewing hoped. Instead of a flood of smug liberals lining up for complimentary pints, the brewery got absolutely torched. We’re talking calls for their liquor license to be revoked, demands for FBI and Secret Service investigations, and a boycott campaign that spread across the country faster than they could pour a draft.
Nothing says “we’re the tolerant ones” quite like running a happy hour special for attempted political assassination.
Social media users flooded the brewery’s Facebook page, Instagram, and email inbox. The reviews are pouring in — and they’re not about the beer. Words like “evil,” “sick,” and “disgusting” are trending in connection with Minocqua Brewing, which is probably not the brand identity they were going for when they opened the taproom.
(“Hey honey, let’s grab a pint at the place that celebrates political violence! I hear their stout pairs great with moral depravity.”)
As of right now, Minocqua Brewing hasn’t issued a statement or an apology. Stunning bravery! Standing firm on your conviction that attempted murder deserves a toast. Really living your values there, guys.
But here’s what’s actually important about this story — and it’s not about one dumb brewery in Wisconsin.
This is the mask slipping. This is the Left showing you exactly who they are when they think nobody’s watching. Except everybody was watching, because they posted it on the internet like complete morons.
We spent years being told that Democrats are the party of decency. The party of norms. The party that cares about “political violence” and “threats to democracy.” Remember all those somber speeches after January 6th? Remember the candlelight vigils? Remember the tears?
A man tried to kill Trump administration officials at the WHCD, and a brewery in Wisconsin threw a party.
That’s who these people are. Not all of them, sure. But enough of them that a business owner thought this was a good marketing strategy. Enough of them that someone sat down, typed out a promotional post celebrating political violence, and hit “publish” without a single person in the room saying, “Hey, maybe we shouldn’t celebrate attempted murder?”
The free market is going to handle this one, folks. It already is. Americans are flooding the brewery’s pages with one-star reviews. People are canceling orders. Local businesses are distancing themselves. When you openly celebrate someone trying to kill the President, you don’t get to play victim when customers decide they’d rather drink literally anywhere else.
And the beautiful part? Minocqua Brewing did this to themselves. Nobody canceled them. Nobody sent a government agency after them. They posted a promotion celebrating assassination and the American people responded exactly how you’d expect decent human beings to respond — with total, overwhelming disgust.
This is what happens when your entire political identity is built on hating one man so much that you lose the ability to distinguish between “political opposition” and “celebrating attempted murder.” Trump broke their brains so completely that they genuinely couldn’t see why toasting a shooting with free craft beer might be a problem.
The Left always tells us who they are. We just have to pay attention.
So here’s our advice to Minocqua Brewing: maybe pivot to a new specialty brew. Call it the “Career Suicide IPA.” It’s bitter, nobody wants it, and it leaves a terrible taste in your mouth. Just like celebrating political violence.
Enjoy the boycott. You earned it.
