re: Insane brewery in Wisconsin disappointed assassination attempt was unsuccessful

They're all like this. Every. Single. Liberal.

This guy just has the guts to vocalize it.

I love how they all keep saying this was staged yet they all feel this type of way which leads to these attempts happening. fricking pieces of shite

According to the website. This brewery is closed and plans to reopen in May 2026

He’s hoping some burns it down so he can collect insurance

Admittedly, I’m relatively new to Madison. Moved here a couple years ago for work. Thanks for the background on that POS. I have noticed that the brewery tap room here never seems to be busy, it’s in a terrible location. This controversy will probably sink him for good. At least I hope so. I can say, if I am ever in a situation where I am in person with that turd, I’ll let him know what I think of him. Whatever happens after that is on him.

It won’t sink him unless he ends up in jail and even then I have my doubts.

As I said before, he lures people in to donate to him based on shared politics. They realize he’s a jackass and distance themselves. Then a new crop hears about him, donate to him based on shared politics, and realize he’s a jackass. It’s been a never ending cycle for a few years now.

About a decade ago my niece took a summer job at his place in Minocqua. When his wife was still alive it was reputable. It was his wife’s dream and vision that opened the place up in the first place. I never went there myself but the business was at least legit. Once his wife got sick and she was no longer running the place it went to hell. He’d offer coke to female employees to have sex with him all while his wife was fighting cancer.

My niece worked just a couple of days and simply stopped showing up. She was tipped off by friends of hers that in all likelihood she would be one of his targets. So she said screw it and got a different job. She dodged a bullet with that one.

I’m not from Madison but lived there for a couple of years after getting married. The moment the pee stick came back positive we were looking to get the hell out of that town. Moved about half an hour away and couldn’t be happier. We pay less than half in taxes for two acres, a 3400 sq ft house, five car heated unattached garage, two car heated attached garage, and a couple of outbuildings than we did for our 1100 square foot Madison house on 0.19 acres and no garages or other outbuildings.

Not gonna link it but the "about us" on his brewery's website, apparently his wife died. Shame it didn't get him too.

You know a business is fricking lost when the about us page is like this

After the coronavirus shut down all restaurants in March, 2020, and the Trump administration failed to have a national plan to slow down contagion and the restaurant industry suffered unnecessarily by having to limiting capacity longer than necessary, Bangstad aired his frustrations by hanging a huge “Joe Biden for President” sign on his wall after having to lay off his entire restaurant staff.

He probably posts on DU and Reddit.

With all due respect, frick that guy

His wife died in 2018 of lung cancer. They were only married for a few years (after her diagnosis) and he was cheating on her the entire time.

As I stated above, he does post on Reddit and other social media sites. He’ll create multiple users and rave about how wonderful he is to drive up traffic and views. If there are any negative reviews he enlists the help of those alteregos and goes after them hardcore.

If you leave a negative review on Facebook he’ll pull up personal pics of the person who gave the bad review and harass him/her and their kids reposting the pictures with defamatory comments. He’ll make them with his account and with alters.

Right now his beer is contracted out to Church Street Brewing in Itasca, Illinois. He doesn’t make his own beer. He’s been having someone else do it. On one offering his cans say that it is laced with the Covid vaccine.

There’s a planned protest in Minocqua this Saturday at noon. Tons of info on FB about it. The “Back the Badge Wisconsin” Facebook page has a bunch of into about this jackass on it. They posted his cell phone number if you want to give him a call.
