[Real American Beer @drinkrab]

For nearly half a century, Hulk Hogan stood as a living symbol of what this country believes in at its best: strength, optimism, resilience and unity. He believed in people. And he gave them someone to believe in.

When we set out to launch Real American Beer one year ago, it was with Hulk’s vision and mission. He said he believed that Real American Beer and its message to America could leave an even bigger legacy than his wrestling career. It's a simple message and it's written on the can: "America's at its best when united”. Hulk was all in—not just in name, but city by city, store by store, fan by fan. In every market, thousands came to see him. He’d shake every hand. Learn every name. Take every photo. He genuinely wanted to take the time to meet each person and look them in the eye. To make them feel seen.

That was his gift. Not just being larger than life—but making other people feel larger, too.

He believed that our communities are better when we raise a glass together. “One beer at a time,” he’d say. And he meant it.

Today, we lost more than a founder. We lost a legend. A brother. A real American.

But his fighting spirit doesn’t leave us. It lives in every crowd he fired up, every smile he sparked, every story fans tell. It lives in our mission to keep bringing people together. And it lives in this brand—not because it bears his image, but because it bears his heart.

Hulk Hogan gave us a reason to believe. Now it’s on us to carry it forward.
