Hulkamaniacs throughout the Treasure Valley will get a chance to meet one of their cultural icons this week.
Hulk Hogan, who made his mark in the 1980s and 1990s taking down the likes of King Kong Bundy and Andre the Giant on his way to World Wrestling Entertainment supremacy, is coming to Idaho to promote his Real American Beer brand.
The product, in the midst of its “summer rollout,” has already launched in six states — Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Rhode Island.
Idaho is next in line, with Hogan making his Gem State appearance primarily in the eastern part of the Treasure Valley at the following days, times and locations:
WednesdayNoon: Jacksons Food Stores at 2581 Broadway Ave. in Boise
2 p.m.: Albertsons at 1219 S Broadway Ave. in Boise
7:30 p.m.: Giggy D’s Bar at 1505 S Eagle Road #190 in Meridian

3:30 p.m.: Albertsons at 3499 E Fairview Ave. in Meridian
5:30 p.m.: Legends Bar at 7609 W Overland Road in Boise
“Real American Beer is about to run wild in Idaho,” Hogan said in a news release. “I’ve met with the retailers, and they are buying big so everyone in the Gem State can get their hands on it. Let’s celebrate America, brother.”
Over the coming weeks, the beer will be available at top Idaho retailers such as Albertsons, Jacksons, Maverik, Ridley’s, Super 1 Foods, Town Pump, Winco and more, the release states.
Additionally, it describes Real American Beer as a premium American-style light lager, “meticulously brewed with 100% North American ingredients.”
“At 4.2% ABV, it provides an easy-drinking experience, a light body, and a crisp, clean finish,” the release states.
An illustration of Hogan — shirt off, trademark American flag in hand — graces the cans of Real American Beer as well as its website.
While Hogan made his name as a WWE Hall of Famer, he recently found himself in national headlines with an appearance at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Hogan came in support of former president and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. He described Trump as “an American hero” and got the crowd riled up when, standing on the main stage, he ripped off his shirt to reveal a red “Make America Great Again” shirt.
