米诺夸酿酒公司(Minocqua Brewing Co.)的老板周一表示,在州官员撤销该公司的酒类许可证后,其位于威斯康星州麦迪逊的品酒室可能会在年底前关闭。
The owner of Minocqua Brewing Co. said Monday that the Madison taproom in Wisconsin will likely shut down by the end of the year after state officials revoked the company’s alcohol permits.
据Channel 3000报道,米诺夸酿酒公司老板柯克·班格斯塔德(Kirk Bangstad)表示,随着该企业继续对该州的决定提起诉讼,麦迪逊品酒室很可能会关闭。
Channel 3000 reported that Minocqua Brewing Co. owner Kirk Bangstad said the Madison taproom is likely to shut down as the business continues fighting the state’s decision.
这家啤酒厂因其针对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的直言不讳的言论而闻曾引发关注。
The brewery has become known for its outspoken messaging against President Donald Trump.
威斯康星州一啤酒厂曾宣称特朗普死后提供“免费啤酒”,现称酒类许可证被撤销。威斯康星州税务局(DOR)撤销了该公司位于米诺夸和麦迪逊两处地点的酿造许可证,此前该局指控其存在从伊利诺伊州运送啤酒但未持有所需许可证及缴纳税款的违规行为。该啤酒厂对州的这一行动提出了异议,并指责官员因其政治观点而将其作为打击目标。
WISCONSIN BREWERY THAT OFFERED 'FREE BEER' WHEN TRUMP DIES SAYS ALCOHOL PERMIT REVOKED The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) revoked brewing permits for the company’s Minocqua and Madison locations after alleging violations involving beer transported from Illinois without the required permits and tax payments. The brewery has disputed the state’s action and accused officials of targeting it because of its political views.
该部门周四在给福克斯新闻数字频道(Fox News Digital)的一份声明中表示,关于该公司上诉的听证会将于11月18日举行,并且在完成上诉之前,撤销决定不会生效。声明还补充说:“威斯康星州税务局致力于公平、一致地执行酒精饮料法规,并在发生违法行为时采取行动,正如本案所发生的那样。”班格斯塔德的啤酒厂曾因承诺如果特朗普总统去世就提供免费啤酒而登上各大媒体头条。
The department told Fox News Digital in a statement Thursday that there is a hearing on the company's appeal on Nov. 18, and that the revocation does not take effect until appeals are done, adding that the "DOR is dedicated to fair and consistent enforcement of alcohol beverage regulations in Wisconsin and takes action when the laws are not followed, as occurred here." Bangstad’s breweries have made headlines for offering free beer if President Trump dies.
1月22日,米诺夸酿酒公司似乎暗示,如果特朗普被杀,它将向顾客免费提供啤酒。虽然没有明确使用他的名字,但该公司在脸书(Facebook)上发帖称:“在他死的那天,全天免费提供啤酒。” 针对特朗普死亡言论提供“免费啤酒”的民主党激进分子正竞选威斯康星州长:若他们让我闭嘴,“我将赢得胜利”。帖子接着写道:“几个月后事情发生时,给我们看这篇帖子,我们会兑现这个承诺。”
On Jan. 22, the Minocqua Brewing Company appeared to suggest it would give free beer to patrons if Trump was killed, and while not explicitly using his name, posted on Facebook, "Free beer, all day long the day he dies." 'FREE BEER' FOR TRUMP DEATH DEM ACTIVIST RUNNING FOR WISCONSIN GOV: 'I WILL WIN' IF THEY SILENCE ME "Show us this post when it happens in a few months and we’ll make good on that promise," the post continued.
该帖子随后更新称:“我们指的是麦迪逊品酒室,因为它全年开放;如果他在夏天去世,那就会是米诺夸品酒室。”针对帖子下的评论,该公司在被问及交易时间表是否可能提前时,并未直接点名特朗普,而是表示该信息指的是某位高知名度人物。
The post was updated to say, "We meant the Madison Taproom because that’s open all year, if he dies in the summer, then it’s gonna be the Minocqua Taproom." In reply to comment on the post, the company also did not refer to Trump by name but said the message referred to a high-profile figure when asked whether the timeline for the deal could be moved up earlier.
在特朗普出席的白宫记者晚宴发生枪击事件后,该公司在Facebook上写道:“哎呀,我们差点就……肯塔基州州长称他接到两个机构的电话,显示麦康奈尔已经‘去世’。”该酿酒厂还表示,如果参议员米奇·麦康奈尔去世,他们将提供半价啤酒。
After the April shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner where Trump was present, the company wrote on Facebook, "Well, we almost got KENTUCKY GOVERNOR SAYS HE RECEIVED 2 CALLS FROM AGENCIES INDICATING MCCONNELL HAD 'PASSED' The brewery also offered half-price beer when Sen. Mitch McConnell dies.
酿酒厂在Instagram上发文称:“当他们宣布麦康奈尔与魔鬼的舞蹈终于结束时,我们将开始以‘半价’出售我们的啤酒,因为我们承诺在他们拔掉呼吸机的那天举办‘半价啤酒日’。”
"When they announce that McConnell’s Faustian dance has finally ended, we’re gonna start serving our beer at ‘half price,’ because we promised #halfpricebeerday on the day they unplug the ventilator," the brewery said in an Instagram post.
现年84岁的麦康奈尔今年早些时候因在家中跌倒住院,此后数月缺席参议院。这位肯塔基州共和党人上周在关键投票前重返参议院。
McConnell, who is 84, was absent from the Senate for months after being hospitalized for a fall in his home earlier this year. The Kentucky Republican returned to the Senate last week ahead of key votes.
酿酒厂老板邦斯塔德也是米诺夸酿酒公司超级政治行动委员会(SuperPAC)的创始人。根据酿酒厂网站介绍,该委员会“旨在罢免那些延续导致2021年1月6日国会山骚乱选举谎言的共和党联邦和州民选官员,以及那些淡化新冠疫情严重性、导致我国大量不必要死亡的官员”。
Bangstad, who owns the brewery, is also the founder of the Minocqua Brewing Company SuperPAC, which "aims to remove Republican federal and state elected officials who perpetuated the election lies that caused the Insurrection of January 6, 2021, and whose downplaying of the seriousness of COVID-19 caused so many unnecessary deaths in our country," according to the brewery’s website.
当福克斯新闻数字版寻求置评时,该酿酒厂发表了贬低特朗普的言论,并再次强调,当总统去世时,他们将举办“#免费啤酒日”。酿酒厂补充道:“不过提醒一下,禁止佩戴红色帽子。”
Reached for comment by Fox News Digital, the brewery made disparaging remarks about Trump and again noted that it will host a "#freebeerday" when the president passes. "Reminder, however, no red hats allowed," the brewery added.
