Minoqua Brewing Company, progressive with teeth.

For those who are not aware, there's a brewery called the Minoqua Brewing Company in little Minoqua, Wisconsin. Owned by a guy named Kirk Bangstad, this company fights like hell for progressive causes.

Here's a link to their story.

We spent the day shopping, then went there for drinks and to listen to music before the fireworks. My daughter wanted to experience a "small town 4th of July"
Who knew the place would become famous?

no-holds-bared kind of guy. He's got a standing offer of free beer at establishments that carry his beer on the day Dipshit Donnie graces us with his permanent departure.

If you check his merchandise page, he sells t-shirts that say "I wish it was free beer day at Minoqua Brewing Company".
