Watch the Replay and Share with Fellow Patriots who are true American Rebel's and love the USA

American Rebel Holdings encourages all fans, customers, investors, and patriots to watch or listen to last night's replay of Andy Ross's appearance on The Dr. Drew Podcast. His message - defending the Second Amendment and championing the values of faith, family, and freedom - reached millions of listeners and continues to grow American Rebel's national platform and brand awareness. Raise a Rebel Light Tall Boy Can, share the replay, and keep the conversation about American rights alive.

During last night's appearance, Ross passionately discussed the importance of protecting inherent American rights and freedoms, reinforcing American Rebel's unwavering support for the Constitution, individual liberty, personal responsibility, and the opportunities afforded to citizens of the United States of America. Ross also highlighted several "Stand Your Ground" examples and emphasized that American Rebel proudly stands behind law-abiding Americans who value faith, family, freedom, country, and the right to protect themselves and their loved ones.

"America remains the greatest country in the world because of the freedoms our founders fought for and generations of Americans have defended ever since," said Andy Ross. "At American Rebel, we're not afraid to say exactly what we stand for. We believe in the American Dream, we believe in personal freedom, and we believe people still want brands that unapologetically support those values."

The White House has emphasized that "the Second Amendment is an indispensable safeguard of security and liberty," reflecting the very principles that guide American Rebel Holdings as a company and as a brand. Andy Ross has long been a leading voice for those principles - most notably through his anthem Cold Dead Hand, which became one of the most recognized Second Amendment songs in the country. The song's cultural impact reached far beyond music: it caught the attention of the hit History Channel series Counting Cars, where legendary builder Danny Koker crafted Andy a one-of-a-kind Second Amendment muscle car in one of the show's most popular and celebrated episodes. During last night's appearance on The Dr. Drew Podcast, Andy reflected on how American Rebel took on a life of its own - evolving from a song into a movement, and ultimately into the foundation of American Rebel Holdings: a company and brand built to support American values, the Constitution, and the people who live by them.

A New Anthem for America's 250th Birthday - Hold by Beer

Ross also discussed his patriotic anthem "Hold My Beer," written in celebration of America's upcoming 250th birthday. The song serves as both a tribute to America's past and a rallying cry for the nation's future - celebrating the hardworking Americans, entrepreneurs, veterans, first responders, and freedom-loving citizens who continue building this country every day. That optimism mirrors American Rebel's own growth and the consumer movement it has built around a simple but powerful promise.

American Rebel - A Brand Built on American Values

American Rebel was built to wear its values on its sleeve - and in our case, on every beer can. The Company's mission is printed right on the label: "America's Patriotic, God-Fearing, Constitution Loving, National Anthem Singing, Stand Your Ground Beer." That's not fine print - it's our promise to our customers. The phrase "Stand Your Ground" reflects a belief that law-abiding Americans should never be forced to retreat when protecting their lives, their families, or their freedoms.

Andy embodies that belief. At his Patriotic performances, he looks out and sees American Rebel Light raised high in the air - a symbol of the community of patriots who celebrate this country and the liberties we all share. As Andy has said, he is "all in on America and the American Dream." Our values "are not slogans - they are a consumer movement and a brand promise built into every can."

Growing a Patriotic Movement

Under Andy's leadership, American Rebel Holdings has grown from a patriotic idea into a thriving consumer brand. The Company executed a Master Brewing Agreement in August 2023 to expand distribution of American Rebel Light Beer, and the brand continues to grow across new markets. American Rebel is bullish on America - on American entrepreneurship, American workers, and the enduring values of faith, family, freedom, and country.

In addition to being a singer-songwriter and country-rock artist, Ross is Founder & CEO of American Rebel Holdings, Inc., parent company of American Rebel Beer. An outspoken advocate for constitutional rights and personal responsibility, Ross is frequently featured as a guest commentator across national television, radio, and podcast platforms including Fox & Friends, Fox News, Newsmax, Bloomberg, CNBC, Fox Business, SiriusXM Patriot, ABC-TV, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and numerous nationally syndicated programs.

He later founded Ross Archery and launched his internationally broadcast television series, Maximum Archery World Tour, which ran for ten years before being rebranded as American Rebel.

American Rebel Holdings was officially founded in December 2014, inspired by a song Ross had recorded titled "American Rebel."

In August 2023, American Rebel signed a Master Brewing Agreement with Associated Brewing Company, launching American Rebel Beer.

Beyond business, Ross is an accomplished musician whose songwriting reflects his core beliefs. His catalogue includes Cold Dead Hand, I Stand for You - written from the perspective of the American flag - and his newest anthem, Hold My Beer, a celebration of America's 250th birthday. Ross recently performed live at Black Oak Amphitheater, delivering a high-energy patriotic set that embodied the spirit of the American Rebel brand.
