A conspiracy theory is brewing around the country..and at a northern Michigan brewery.
Mackinaw City’s Rusted Spoke Brewing Company has released a drink they’re calling ‘Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself’. Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier accused of trafficking underage girls and was found dead in his Manhattan jail earlier this year. The death was ruled a suicide.
An autopsy later commissioned by his brother found his death was likely a homicide, which led to ‘Jeffrey Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself’ quotes and images across social media.
Todd Allen is the General Manager of Rusted Spoke Brewing Company. He said the phone has been ringing off the hook for the new brew.
“Now you can see people are calling us from all over the state, asking if we’ll send it to them. They’re coming in, taking howlers, growlers home. We might even make a T-Shirt out of it, who knows?”
Allen said the beer will stay on the shelves for the immediate future, at least until Rusted Spoke can come up with another trending concoction to take its place.
