MINOCQUA - An appeal by Minocqua Brewing Company and its owner, Kirk Bangstad has been denied by a state court. Bangstad had asked the court to delay payment of two monetary judgements, totaling just under $1.1 million dollars. The judgements were levied after an Oneida County jury found Bangstad and his company guilty of defamation, awarding the Lakeland times publisher Gregg Walker what is thought to be the biggest defamation judgement in state history. The denial of appeal means Bangstad must pay the judgements, although he is expected to appeal to the state Supreme Court.
