Hulk Hogan to visit metro Detroit, launch new beer after memorable RNC speech

A little less than a week after WWE legend Hulk Hogan tore his shirt off in honor of former President Donald Trump and earned a rousing chant of “U-S-A” at the Republican National Convention, he’s bringing his “Real American Beer” to Michigan.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, launched the American-style light lager earlier this month and plans to appear in metro Detroit this week as part of the beer’s rollout .

"If the Great Lakes State is anything like what we experienced last week in Missouri, Michigan better get ready brother," Hogan said in a news release announcing the plan.

Hogan is expected to make an appearance at all 11 events scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, said Kameron Baetge, a public relations representative for Real American Beer.

The Wednesday stops, as released by the beer team, are at:

• 1 p.m. at Zetouna’s in Rochester Hills
• 2:30 p.m. at Red Wagon Party Store in Troy
• 4 p.m. at Beverage Warehouse in Beverly Hills
• 7:30 p.m. at O’Tooles Irish Pub in Royal Oak
• 8:45 p.m. at the The Old Shillelagh in Detroit

The Thursday stops are at:

• 12:30 p.m. at The Wine Garden in St. Clair Shores
• 2 p.m. at Harper Liquor Land in Clinton Township
• 3:30 p.m. at The Wine Garden in Sterling Heights
• 5 p.m. at The Liquor Book in Sterling Heights
• 7 p.m. at Gilly’s Bar in Detroit
• 8:45 p.m. at The Tin Roof in Detroit

The beer is 4.2% ABV and is described as having a light body and crisp, clean finish while using 100% North American ingredients.
