Nashville, TN, July 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) (“American Rebel” or the “Company”), a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of American Rebel Beer (www.americanrebelbeer.com) and branded safes, personal security and self-defense products and apparel, is proud to recap the successful launch of American Rebel Light Lager (“Rebel Light”) at the Country Stampede Music Festival (www.countrystampede.com) in Bonner Springs, Kansas June 27 – 29. Rebel Light is a premium domestic light lager, not a craft beer, and is initially being launched regionally and later slated for nationwide distribution. This was the first time Rebel Light was available for purchase in the state of Kansas, exclusively distributed in Kansas by Standard Beverage Corporation (www.standardbeverage.com), a leading beverage distributor in Kansas for 75 years and the “largest single alcohol distributor” in the state.
“Being featured at Country Stampede was a great way to launch America’s Patriotic, God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving, National Anthem-Singing, Stand Your Ground Beer in Kansas,” said Andy Ross, Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel. “I met most of the Standard Beverage sales team who were able to attend one of the three days of music, which I think has helped us hit the ground running in Kansas, putting us in over 100 retail locations in just a few weeks. The great exposure to the large Country Stampede crowds combined with the efforts of the Standard Beverage sales team has put us on the map in Kansas.”
American Rebel Beer was a sponsor of the “Party Pit,” the standing-room area in front of the stage. Country Stampede attendees at the Azura Amphitheater, with a capacity of 18,000 music fans, saw ads for American Rebel Light Beer on the giant jumbotrons on either side of the stage during the breaks between music acts and the American Rebel Light logo was printed on 2,500+ “Party Pit” wrist bands and featured along the front of the stage. Rebel Light was well-stocked backstage and in the VIP Lounge and many of the music acts enjoyed Rebel Light, including LOCASH, who brought Rebel Light out on stage with them and went on to post about Rebel Light on their social media accounts.
Brian Skurdal, Director of National Sponsorships for Forward Sports Marketing, said, “We were thrilled to play a small part in the launching of American Rebel Beer in the state of Kansas. The Country Stampede is one of the biggest and most historic country music festivals in the country; and American Rebel Beer will be a welcome addition for years to come.”
Chris Janson was Thursday’s featured artist, Riley Green, Friday’s featured artist had his set delayed 90 minutes due to a passing thunderstorm, and Jon Pardi was Saturday’s featured artist. Other artists scheduled to appear included Billy Currington, LOCASH, Randy Houser, Drew Green, Dillon Carmichael, Jackson Dean, Jerrod Niemann, Redferrin, Neon Union, Casi Joy, Tanner Adell and DJ Hish.
American Rebel and Standard Beverage Corporation both have deep roots in the Kansas City suburb of Lenexa, Kansas, where Standard Beverage has a new 83,000-square-foot facility and American Rebel has its safe showroom. Standard Beverage was started by Sam Rudd in the Wichita area in 1949, just a year after Kansas ended its prohibition laws, and received one of the first alcohol wholesaler licenses in the state. Standard Beverage is still run by the Rudd family today. American Rebel CEO Andy Ross’s father, Bud Ross, founded two legendary Kansas publicly-traded companies, Kustom Electronics and Birdview Satellite.
