The Albany Gazette - American Rebel Light Beer Salutes First Responders at Black Oak's 25th Anniversary 9/11 Tribute Featuring Big & Rich, Craig Morgan and American Rebel CEO Andy Ross

NASHVILLE, TN AND LAMPE, MO / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2026 / American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (OTCID:AREB), America's Patriotic Brand™, today extended a heartfelt salute to America's First Responders and a red-white-and-blue thank-you to Black Oak Mountain Amphitheater - "Missouri's Premier Outdoor Concert Venue!" - following its September 11, 2026 concert commemorating the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Featuring Big & Rich with Cowboy Troy, Craig Morgan, Andy Ross, and Jacob Smalley & The Morgan County Line, the evening brought music and community together to remember the lives lost and honor the courage and sacrifice of those who answered the call.

American Rebel Light Beer is proud to be a presenting sponsor of Black Oak Amphitheater and to have been served to adult concertgoers throughout its 2026 season. From Memorial Day weekend to the September 11 tribute, the relationship has connected a proudly patriotic beer brand with a venue and audience that share its appreciation for great live music, community and love of country.

For American Rebel, the connection is unmistakable: great music, great beer and people who proudly love the USA. The Company encourages fans to carry that spirit forward by attending future Black Oak concerts, inviting friends, joining the Fan Club and helping spread the word.

American Rebel Light Beer, American Rebel CEO Andy Ross, Big & Rich, Craig Morgan and Patriotic Country Rock: A Night to Honor First Responders

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, the occasion carried a meaning beyond the music. Black Oak brought its community together in remembrance of those who died, recognition of families whose lives were forever changed, and gratitude for First Responders and the men and women who continue to protect the nation.

In its public post-show Facebook message, Black Oak captured the spirit of the evening:

"Friday night was about more than great music. It was about coming together as a community to remember and honor September 11th and those whose lives were forever changed that day."

"A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable evening with Big & Rich, Craig Morgan, Andy Ross with American Rebel Beer, and Jacob Smalley & The Morgan County Line!"

The September 11 performance marked a return to Black Oak for Ross, whose patriotic country rock was also part of the venue's May 24 Memorial Day weekend concert featuring Brantley Gilbert, Aaron Lewis and Payton Smith.

"Black Oak is our kind of place, and those fans are our kind of people," said Andy Ross, Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. "We brewed American Rebel Light for patriots who love this country and what it stands for. Being part of Memorial Day weekend and returning for this September 11 tribute was an honor. The music brought us together, but remembering the fallen and thanking our First Responders gave the night its meaning."

Ross continued: "Black Oak doesn't have to be the biggest to be one of the best. To us, it is one of the premier - and most patriotic - venues in the Midwest. The management, the staff and the fans are exactly the people we are proud to stand alongside. God bless our First Responders, God bless our military and God bless America."

The Fans Said It Best: "This One Hit It Out of the Park"

In public comments on Black Oak's Facebook page, individual concertgoers described an experience that started before the main-stage performances and stayed with them after the music ended.

Rita Hobbs highlighted the welcome at the American Rebel Party Stage:

"It started right after passing through security and listening to the music provided at the American Rebel Party Stage."

She also reflected on the tribute:

"The displays of patriotism for the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by each group blew me away as well as the remembrances and displays in between the different bands and a great fireworks display."

Looking back on the season, Hobbs added:

"We have been to several shows out there this year and enjoyed them all, but this one hit it out of the park. Can't wait to find out what you've got going for next year."

Brittany Jo Maybee wrote:

"You all did an amazing job remembering 9/11. I can say from where we was sitting I was not the only one with tears rolling down my face."

Karen McNellis Doelger also looked ahead:

"We saw 3 shows this year and we're looking forward to next year."

Doelger described Black Oak as "our favorite outdoor venue." These individual reflections capture the connection American Rebel values: music that brings people together, occasions that mean something and a venue people want to visit again.

Forward-Looking Statements and Additional Disclosures

This press release contains forward-looking statements under applicable U.S. federal securities laws, including, to the extent applicable, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements address expectations, intentions, plans, strategies and future events rather than historical facts. Words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could," "continue," "opportunity," "potential" and similar expressions may identify them, but not all forward-looking statements use these words. Statutory safe-harbor protections are subject to conditions and exclusions; the Company invokes them only to the extent legally available.

Statements Covered and Underlying Assumptions

Forward-looking statements include expectations regarding future Black Oak events and 2027 programming; potential returns by Andy Ross or American Rebel; continuation or expansion of sponsorship and venue relationships; consumer attendance, engagement, trial and repeat purchases; the reach and effectiveness of performance videos, social-media sharing and promotional activities; distribution, retail and geographic expansion; product availability and demand; and anticipated effects on brand recognition, sales, cash flows, profitability or shareholder value. These statements assume, among other things, sufficient financing, continued cooperation by commercial partners, appropriate regulatory approvals, reliable supply and favorable consumer response. They are not guarantees, and actual results may differ materially.

Event, Sponsorship and Marketing Risks

Concerts and related activities can be affected by weather, safety concerns, artist availability, cancellations, postponements, venue operations, insurance, permitting, concession arrangements, ticket demand and changes in commercial priorities. Sponsorships and future appearances depend on applicable agreements, funding and performance by the parties. The disclosed 2026 presenting sponsorship does not establish exclusivity or a commitment for another season. This release does not announce a confirmed Andy Ross appearance or a separate American Rebel sponsorship commitment for ROCKtoberfest or any 2027 event. Black Oak's stated 2027 plans are the venue's plans, not a Company guarantee. Promotion, favorable coverage and event participation may not generate sufficient incremental sales to offset their costs.

Distribution, Production and Consumer Demand Risks

Expansion depends on distributor, retailer and concessionaire execution; product reorders; consumer preferences; competitive pricing and marketing; and the availability of working capital. Production and service depend on third-party brewing, packaging, storage and transportation arrangements, ingredient and packaging availability, quality control and timely delivery. Disruptions, recalls, product-liability claims or rising costs could impair results. Alcohol production, distribution, labeling, advertising, sponsorship, licensing, taxation and sales are subject to federal, state and local requirements. Changes in those requirements or failures to comply could restrict operations. The beer may not be offered at every show, concession point, retailer or location in a state referenced here. Past availability does not assure future availability, and a distribution agreement does not guarantee a purchase order or consumer sales.

The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026 identifies recurring losses, a working-capital deficit and substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Funding for inventory, operations, marketing and sponsorship obligations remains subject to access to capital and operating performance. Financing may be unavailable or available only on unfavorable terms. Inadequate funding could require reductions or delays in operations and growth initiatives.

Issuances of common stock, preferred-stock or debt conversions, warrant or option exercises, equity compensation and settlements may materially dilute existing stockholders. Variable-price conversion terms can increase the number of shares issued when market prices decline. Other material risks include debt service, repayment premiums and covenant compliance; creditor remedies, litigation and settlement obligations; execution of operating consolidations; internal-control deficiencies; reporting and accounting compliance; reliance on key personnel; protection of intellectual property; and costs of public-company operations. These risks can affect the Company as a whole regardless of the performance of a particular sponsorship or beer promotion.

The Company's common stock is quoted on the OTCID market under the symbol AREB and is not listed on a national securities exchange. OTC quotation may involve limited liquidity, significant volatility, wider bid-ask spreads and brokerage or trading restrictions. Continued quotation, access to a particular market tier or future exchange listing is not assured. Investors could lose some or all of their investment.

OTC Markets tier, profile and other designations, including any displayed Company Verified Profile, Penny Stock Exempt or Stock Promotion designation, are subject to change. They should not be interpreted as a recommendation, regulatory approval, assurance of investment merit, guarantee of liquidity or value, or assurance of continued trading status. A displayed label does not by itself establish that every legal exemption or statutory safe harbor applies. Readers should consult the current OTC Markets profile and the Company's SEC filings rather than rely on a historical designation or share-count snapshot.

Historical Metrics, Fan Comments and Third-Party Information

References to distribution relationships and state coverage describe previously reported milestones, not an assertion of uniform current availability, active sales in every territory, guaranteed reorders or future revenue. No revenue, earnings, return-on-investment or share-price forecast is provided. Quoted fan comments are selected individual reactions to a particular concert or venue; they are not a representative survey, verified reviews of the beer or evidence of Company financial performance. Venue statements about management investment, community support and future programming are attributed to Black Oak and are not independently audited statements about its finances. Descriptions such as "premier" express promotional positioning, not an independently established ranking.

Sponsorship, Performer Names and Media

Except for the expressly described Black Oak sponsorship and Andy Ross's role with the Company, references to performers, fans, First Responders, military personnel and other third parties do not imply that they endorse American Rebel products or securities or have a separate commercial relationship with the Company. Third-party names, trademarks and logos remain the property of their owners. Photographs and performance highlights depict selected moments and do not establish attendance totals, sales results or future commitments. Use of media and quotations is subject to applicable permissions and rights.

No Securities Offer; SEC Filings; No Obligation to Update

This release is a corporate and consumer-brand communication, not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities. Any separate offering by the Company or an affiliate must be evaluated under its applicable offering documents, issuer identity, terms, risks and legal requirements. Statements about a beer brand or event are not a substitute for securities disclosures. Neither the SEC nor any other regulator has approved or endorsed the Company's securities, business prospects or the merits of this release.

The risks described above are not exhaustive. Readers should review the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026, and subsequent reports and amendments filed with the SEC, including risk factors, liquidity, going-concern, legal-proceeding and internal-control disclosures.
