Minocqua Brewing Company’s beer was recently seized by the state Department of Revenue, and the brewery is now suing, alleging that the department did not provide them a way to pay an outstanding $500 excise tax, WisPolitics reported.

About 1,200 cans of beer were seized last week.

Minocqua Brewing wants a judge to have the $25,000 worth of beer immediately returned to the brewery. The lawsuit also asks that the DOR does not block the sale of the beer during the duration of the lawsuit.
