Brewery Offers FREE Beer For Trump Assassination Day

A Wisconsin brewery owner promised free beer the day Donald Trump dies, predicting it would happen in just a few months—what drives such a public death wish amid rising political violence?

Story Snapshot

Kirk Bangstad posted on Minocqua Brewing Company’s Facebook on January 22, 2026, offering free beer when Trump dies “in a few months.”
Bangstad confirmed to Fox News the post targeted former President Trump, calling it a celebration of a “twice-impeached convicted felon.”
U.S. Secret Service acknowledged awareness of the post but cited operational security.
Post followed Bangstad’s anti-ICE rhetoric, wanted posters for federal agents, and reaction to Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Right-leaning critics label it incendiary incitement, fueling boycott calls and polarization.

Kirk Bangstad’s Escalating Rhetoric

Kirk Bangstad, owner of Minocqua Brewing Company in Minocqua, Wisconsin, posted the free beer promise on the brewery’s official Facebook page on January 22, 2026. The message read: “Free beer, all day long, the day Trump dies. Show us this post when it happens in a few months and we’ll make good on that promise.” Bangstad confirmed to Fox News this referred to Donald Trump. This came after he posted “F**k Charlie Kirk” following Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination. He also circulated wanted posters for federal agents and demanded “regime change” plus justice for every ICE agent.

Bangstad’s history aligns his brewery with progressive activism. He serves as treasurer for a federal super PAC named Minocqua Brewing Company. The business markets itself like Ben & Jerry’s, targeting leftist consumers. In 2024, Bangstad unsuccessfully tried to block Trump from Wisconsin’s presidential ballot. Minocqua, a politically divided town, sets the stage for his bold social media moves that blend business promotion with anti-Trump fervor.

Secret Service Steps In

The U.S. Secret Service confirmed awareness of Bangstad’s post. Spokespeople stated: “The U.S. Secret Service is aware… we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence.” No arrests or further actions appeared as of late January 2026. Blaze News reported this on January 27, 2026, after Fox News drew Bangstad’s confirmation. The agency routinely monitors social media threats against protectees like former presidents. Precedents show such posts trigger scrutiny, though outcomes vary.

Bangstad ignored Blaze News requests but doubled down with Fox. His pattern includes prior anti-ICE campaigns and ballot challenges. Critics like Libs of TikTok condemned the post, asking: “How are we supposed to share a country with these people? Democrats want us dead.” Patriots.win users demanded arrest, calling it incitement. This reflects common sense: public predictions of a political opponent’s death cross into dangerous territory, especially post-Kirk assassination.

Business and Political Backlash

Minocqua Brewing Company faces immediate fallout. Conservatives launched boycott calls, threatening reputational damage and sales losses. Loyal leftist customers might rally, boosting revenue short-term. Long-term, politicized craft breweries risk alienating broader markets. Bangstad’s strategy ties beer sales to activism, but facts show it invites federal eyes and community division in Wisconsin’s northwoods.

The post amplifies national tensions. It follows Charlie Kirk’s assassination, heightening fears of violence. Right-leaning outlets frame Bangstad’s words as a “chilling death wish,” linking to Democratic rhetoric. No leftist defenses surfaced in reports. Under a Trump administration context, this reinforces narratives of incitement. American conservative values demand accountability for threats, regardless of politics—facts align with viewing this as reckless, not mere hyperbole.
