In 2024, Hogan launched Real American Beer, a light-bodied American Lager that proudly featured his image on its beer cans. We’ve that, “Word to Drink By” and more…

Hulk Hogan Image Disappears From Real American Beer Cans

From his trademark bleached-blond hair to his signature mustache and  bandana, Hulk Hogan, (real name Terry Bollea) was one of the most iconic professional American wrestlers in history. He rose  to fame for his time with WWE and World Championship Wrestling and died in 2025 due to cardiac arrest in Clearwater, Florida.

In 2024, Hogan launched Real American Beer a light-bodied 4.2% ABV American Lager in cans that proudly featured his image, but in the wake of his passing his distinctive likeness will no  longer be featured on its cans.

According to TMZ, Hogan won’t disappear from the all American beer brand forever. Real American Beer has plans for special edition Hulk cans in the future. This is similar to the “Hulkamania Forever” cans produced after his death

Hulk Hogan launched Real American Beer a year before he died, and despite the legendary wrestler’s absence, sales are reportedly booming … and now the company is debuting a brand new look absent its founder.

 

Words to Drink By

Busch Light Want To Fund You Genius Fishing Idea

We’ve all been out on the water, fumbling with tackle or fighting a snag, and thought, “There has got to be a better way.” Maybe you’ve even sketched out a clever little gadget on a napkin after a long day at the lake. Well, don’t throw that napkin away—Busch Light wants to see it.

In a move that’s basically Shark Tank for anglers, Busch Light is launching the Bass Bank contest. They’re looking for those lightbulb-moment ideas that make fishing better, easier, or just flat-out more fun. If your idea solves a real, everyday problem on the water and makes other fishermen say, “Why didn’t I think of that?”, you’re exactly who they’re looking for.

To weed out the good from the great, they’ve brought in a panel of guys who practically live outdoors: Chris and Casey Keefer, alongside the legendary Busch Guy.

The Grand Prize:  If your invention hooks the judges, the haul is pretty incredible. The winner walks away with:

  • $15,000 in cash to actually build the invention.
  • A live, hands-on working session with the Keefer Brothers to help bring your idea to life.
  • A year’s supply of Busch Light (because of course).

How to Enter Crack open a cold one, finalize your designs, and pitch your idea HERE.

  • When: The submission window is open from March 9, 2026, to March 22, 2026.
  • What they’re grading on: The judges will be scoring submissions based on creativity, ingenuity, how realistic the gear is to actually use, and the passion behind the pitch.
