Help the Minocqua Brewing Company Defend Itself from Gregg Walker and the Lakeland Times


Gregg Walker, publisher of the right wing Lakeland Times, filed a defamation lawsuit against us in May, 2021.


Every legal expert we spoke with at the time agreed that this lawsuit had no merit, would be un-winnable, and thus fell into the category of SLAPP, or “Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation,” which is an “all-too-common tool for intimidating and silencing criticism through expensive, baseless legal proceedings.


Unfortunately, we lost this case and the jury awarded Gregg Walker $750K in damages because a judge ruled that Walker, owner and contributor to the only 2 newspapers in the Oneida County, was not a public figure.


We believe the judge was wrong, and his error created terrible legal precedent for the state of Wisconsin.


As a result of this ruling, our insurance companies, West Bend and Society, are attempting to drop coverage buy toying with the judicial system.


If you despise bullying as much as we do, and don’t think the judicial system should be used as a weapon for the rich to intimidate people they don't like, and that insurance companies should be forced to pay claims the promised to pay, please donate to help us sue our insurance companies and appeal this case.
