The wrestling icon, Hulk Hogan, is making a splash in the beverage industry with his new beer venture.
Fresh off his legendary career in the wrestling ring—and an infamous detour into the pasta business—Hogan is now setting his sights on beer aficionados with the debut of Real American Beer, named after his iconic WWE entrance music.
This “premium American-made easy-drinking light lager” aims to quench thirsts across 17 states. Not only does it mark Hogan’s entry into the premium beer market, but it also positions him alongside his WWE colleague, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, whose Broken Skull IPA has already been received with enthusiasm.
A number of key retailers, including ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, Albertsons, Safeway, Sam’s Club, Total Wine & More, and Walmart, will feature Hogan’s Real American Beer. Boasting a 4.2% ABV and a claim of a “well-balanced taste,” Hogan aims to unite America with his new brew.
In his statement, Hulk Hogan highlighted the beer’s unifying mission. “Real American Beer is bringing America together, one beer at a time,” he declared. “We’ve formed an all-star team to make it happen, and I can’t wait for fans and beer enthusiasts to try it,” Hogan added.

Hogan hasn’t ventured into the beer business alone; he’s joined forces with Terri Francis. As CEO of the new company, Francis brings strong credentials, having served as an executive at The Not Company before joining Hogan.
As shared in the press release on GlobalNewsWire, Hogan has a storied history. “A legend with over forty years in the spotlight, Hulk Hogan has leveraged the enduring ‘Hulkamania’ into a series of successful ventures, connecting with audiences globally,” the press release stated.
