Tri-Eagle Sales to Drive American Rebel Light Beer Availability in Key Markets, Including Management of Gainesville Raceway as the Official Beer, Supporting Chain Expansions and High-Profile On-Premise Opportunities in Florida and the Southeast in 2026

Nashville, Tennessee , Jan. 28, 2026- American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) (“American Rebel” or the “Company”), America’s Patriotic Brand, and maker of American Rebel Light Beer—America’s Patriotic, God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving, National Anthem-Singing, Stand-Your-Ground Beer—today announced a strategic distribution agreement with Tri-Eagle Sales, one of Florida’s most respected beverage wholesalers. This partnership expands American Rebel Light Beer’s footprint in North and North Central Florida, building on existing momentum with North Florida Sales and positioning the brand for accelerated retail velocity, chain placements, and on-premise activations across the state in 2026.

Last week, American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) CEO Andy Ross and President Todd Porter visited Tri-Eagle’s operations and were impressed by the team’s professionalism, infrastructure, and commitment to excellence—values that resonate deeply with American Rebel’s patriotic mission.

“Florida is a cornerstone state for American Rebel Light Beer in 2026, and partnering with Tri-Eagle Sales is a game-changer,” said Andy Ross, Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. “Tri-Eagle’s market relationships, logistics strength, and disciplined execution will help us turn growing retailer demand into real retail velocity. We were on-site last week and saw firsthand why they live their vision as the ‘Go-To’ beverage experts for customers and community. This partnership strengthens our Florida foundation, supports chain expansions, and positions us to shine at high-profile on-premise accounts and events across the Southeast. Rebel Up, Florida!”




Florida stands out as a high-priority market for American Rebel Light Beer this year, with multiple retail chain expansion opportunities, high-profile restaurants, nightclubs, and events throughout the state and the broader Southeast. Tri-Eagle Sales will provide comprehensive coverage across a 16-county territory, including Gainesville, Tallahassee, Ocala, Lake City, and surrounding high-velocity areas. As part of the agreement, Tri-Eagle will manage all onsite logistics, cold-box execution, and event-level activation at Gainesville Raceway, where American Rebel Light Beer will serve as the Official Beer of this iconic motorsports venue.

Tri-Eagle Sales, founded in 1996 by Tripp Transou and Susie Busch-Transou, operates from state-of-the-art facilities in Tallahassee/Midway and Ocala, serving more than 2,400 retail accounts with a team of over 250 beverage professionals. The company is guided by its mission “Making friends is our business” and vision “To be the ‘Go-To’ beverage experts for our customers and our community.” Tri-Eagle emphasizes employee well-being through initiatives like its Wellness Program (established 2016), a 4-Day Work Week for select positions (introduced 2019), and a comprehensive S.A.F.E.T.Y. PLEDGE focused on safe operations. These efforts reflect a people-first culture that has earned recognition, including the 2018 Working Well Innovation Award (1st place). Tri-Eagle’s disciplined retail execution, temperature-controlled warehouses, refrigerated fleet, and strong relationships across grocery, convenience, mass retail, bars, restaurants, and events make it an ideal partner for scaling national brands in Florida’s competitive landscape.

This agreement delivers expanded market access, faster time-to-shelf, operational transparency, and top-tier execution to support chain resets, seasonal programs, and rapid rollouts. It aligns with American Rebel’s Distributor-First strategy, converting distribution momentum into consistent consumer availability and repeat purchases.




As part of the agreement, Tri-Eagle will assist American Rebel Light Beer in managing onsite logistics, cold-box execution, and event-level activation at Gainesville Raceway, where American Rebel Light Beer will serve as the Official Beer of this iconic motorsports venue for the 2026 AMALIE Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals, taking place March 5–8 at Gainesville Raceway. The partnership aligns American Rebel with one of drag racing’s most storied events, which opens the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season and launches NHRA’s 75th anniversary year. Since its debut in 1970, the Gatornationals has been celebrated for record-setting performances and Gainesville Raceway’s renowned 675-foot concrete launchpad. Fans can look forward to hallmark experiences including on-site camping and Saturday’s NHRA Top Fuel All-Star Callout.

“Tactically, Tri-Eagle’s infrastructure, experienced team, and focus on employee wellness and safety set them apart,” said Todd Porter, President of American Rebel Beverages. “Their proven ability to deliver shelf gains, cold-box placement, and event activation aligns perfectly with our goals. We’re proud to build alongside a distributor that prioritizes people, community, and results—just like we do. This accelerates our rollout and brings America’s Patriotic Beer to more patriots in the Sunshine State.”
