Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan visited the Permian Basin this week as part of a meet-and-greet tour to promote his Real American Beer brand at United Supermarket locations in West Texas.
Hogan appeared at the United Supermarket located at 3317 Midland Drive on Wednesday afternoon. "Trip into Texas was something special. Thank you all for the support and coming out this week," Hogan wrote on Facebook. "Real American Beer is now available in hundreds of Texas stores and counting. You can check the Beer Finder to find the closest store near you."
According to a news release from United Supermarkets, Hogan is the co-founder of Real American Beer, which was launched five months ago and is already among the top 10 U.S.-based beer brands. He visited United stores in Midland, Odessa, and Lubbock, with his beer available to customers at select locations.
Fan Richie Wong expressed his excitement on Facebook about Hogan's appearance in Midland. "I just wanted a chance to tell him thank you for being a big part of my childhood and shook his hand," he wrote about his encounter.
