The Wisconsin brewery that previously drew national attention for promising free beer "the day" President Donald Trump dies and later announcing plans for a "half-price beer day" when Sen.Mitch McConnell dies is again courting controversy with the release of a politically themed beer called "Antifa Octoberfist."In a Wednesday social media post, Minocqua Brewing Company said it chose to announce the seasonal beer after "another card-carrying member of ANTIFA" won a Democratic primary in Michigan.The brewery said the beer's label revisits the question, "Is it OK to punch a Nazi?" and references Captain America and World War II while promoting the product.REPUBLICANS GET THE DEMOCRAT THEY WANTED AS SOCIALIST ABDUL EL-SAYED WINS MICHIGAN SENATE PRIMARYThe brewery sits in an old gas station building in the center of town.
