Now there is a backlash and today on the news, it was reported that minority owners of the brewery have pulled out. There are also other businesses in town that will no longer sell this brewer's products.

Would you support a boycott of a business because of the owner's political views? I would and there are businesses that I don't spend my money in, like Hobby Lobby and a local ice cream parlor chain that isn't shy about telling everyone their political views. I'll take my hard-earned dollars elsewhere.
They certainly have the right to say what they wish but they're not entitled to be protected from any backlash or from hearing opposing points of view.
I've got no problem voting with my dollars. That's capitalism, baby. You want my money? Shut yer piehole and earn it. Personal responsibility means that if you, or your employee, acts in a way I don't like, I can give you all the negative feedback you didn't want, and then some.
