Patriotic Consumer Demand Drives Aggressive Restocking, Validating Brand's Market Fit and Growth as 'America’s Fastest Growing Beer'
Nashville, TN, Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) ("American Rebel" or the "Company"), creator of American Rebel Beer (americanrebelbeer.com) and a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of branded safes, personal security and self-defense products and apparel (americanrebel.com), is pleased to report continued retail success for American Rebel Light Beer (“Rebel Light”), with strong consumer demand driving aggressive restocking across the authorized and activated Total Wine & More locations spanning seven states including Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Connecticut, Indiana, and Kansas. Rebel Light’s patriotic identity and crisp, refreshing profile are translating into rapid sell-through and sustained reorder momentum, reinforcing its market fit and growth as America’s fastest growing beer.
The performance of American Rebel Light Beer at Total Wine & More reflects strong consumer demand and retail execution, with standout results in Indiana, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Notably, stores in Avon, IN and Brentwood, TN led the chain in volume. Of the active authorized accounts, 94.12% placed a restocking order, underscoring the brand’s growing resonance with customers. One account, which showed minimal engagement and was likely a one-off or test placement, has since been eliminated from the active rollout group, restoring the reorder rate to 100% across participating stores. American Rebel Light Beer, America’s Patriotic Beer, is initially scheduled to be placed into 62 Total Wine & More (www.totalwine.com) locations and the rollout is still underway.
“The numbers and rebuys at Total Wine & More are fantastic and some of the best we’ve seen. Great signs for the future.” Said Todd Porter President of American Rebel Beverages “We’re seeing real consumer pull-through and retail enthusiasm, especially in key markets like Indiana, North Carolina, and Tennessee. This kind of velocity not only validates our brand positioning—it sets the stage for broader expansion and long-term growth. Rebel Light is not just focused on taking shelf space—we are focused on taking market share. We earn our place with real velocity, eye-level visibility, and a brand that refuses to blend in. We are exceeding distribution expectations and that confirms what we’ve believed since day one: American Rebel Light Beer doesn’t just resonate—it sells. And trust me, we’re just getting started.”
Total Wine & More (www.totalwine.com) is recognized as a premier national retailer, boasting over 250 locations across the United States. The company plays a pivotal role in the alcohol industry, generating billions in annual sales and serving as a top destination for beer, wine, and spirits enthusiasts. With beer accounting for approximately 42% of supplier gross revenues in the U.S. alcohol market, Total Wine remains a critical player in domestic light beer sales.

American Rebel Light Beer isn’t playing by the usual rules—it's rewriting them. We are not a legacy brand that needs to retrofit it’s product offering for the modern consumer, American Rebel Light Beer is already there. Our beer delivers what others can’t: bold patriotic branding fused with an authentic “better-for-you” premium light lager experience. Made with all-natural ingredients, no corn, no rice, no artificial sweeteners, it hits the clean-label standard the moment it hits the shelf. As other CPG giants rush to release new SKUs chasing health-conscious drinkers, we’re already answering that call—loud, proud, and ready to scale.
“We didn’t hope American Rebel Light Beer would win—we launched it to dominate,” said Andy Ross, CEO of American Rebel Holdings. “We’re not riding trends. We’re leading a red-blooded revolution in American Beer Industry. Our mission is clear: become the #1 Domestic Light Beer in America—period. And patriotic consumers aren’t just behind us—they’re demanding us. This is America’s Patriotic Beer: God-fearing, Constitution-loving, National Anthem-singing, Stand-Your-Ground boldness in every single can. We didn’t launch a product—we ignited a cultural firestorm. Our momentum is being fueled by real Americans who believe in real values—and that’s exactly why we’re surging straight out of the gate.”
We believe American Rebel’s value proposition extends well beyond shelf space:
