Shuttered MAGA Brewery Demands $50 Million From Haters for Hurt Feelings
Armed Forces Brewing Company, a right-wing pander brand, has filed a $50 million lawsuit against individuals and groups who criticized its business practices. The brewery, which closed in March 2025 after a short tenure in Norfolk, alleges a coordinated campaign of defamation and interference designed to destroy the company. Critics, however, contend that the lawsuit is a retaliation against local residents and activists who voiced valid concerns about the brewery’s behavior and ideology, rather than a legitimate response to unlawful actions. The company, led by CEO Alan Beal, has consistently blamed a “woke mob” for its closure and continues to claim persecution despite its controversial marketing and public incidents.
